Ingredients
•
3 racks pork baby back ribs
•
2 tablespoons salt
•
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
•
1 tablespoon garlic powder
•
1 tablespoon onion powder
•
1 tablespoon chili powder
•
1 tablespoon ground cumin
•
1/4 cup barbeque sauce (such as KC Masterpiece® Original), or to taste
Directions
1
Place 3 fist-sized chunks of wood in a smoker according to manufacturer's directions. Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C).
2
While wood burns down, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin in a bowl; apply to both sides ribs.
3
Once thin blue smoke appears, place ribs in the smoker, bone-sides down; smoke for 2 hours.
4
Reduce heat to 225 to 250 degrees F (107 to 121 degrees C). Wrap ribs lightly in aluminum foil to retain juices; continue smoking for 1 ½ hours more.
5
Remove foil; continue to smoke until meat is tender but still stays on the bone, about 1 hour more, brushing lightly with barbecue sauce in the last 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
