How to Make Award Winning Rib Rub Ribs

  1. In a large bowl, combine all rub ingredients (see below). Mix thoroughly.
  2. Generously rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring full coverage.
  3. Place the ribs in a large zip-top bag or container, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  4. Preheat your smoker or oven to 225°F (107°C).
  5. Place the ribs on the smoker rack or in a roasting pan. If using an oven, add a splash of water or apple juice to the bottom of the pan to prevent drying.
  6. Smoke or bake for approximately 4-6 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily pull away from the bone. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of at least 190°F (88°C).
  7. Remove ribs from smoker/oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
