How to Make Marna's Killer Rib Rub

  1. In a small bowl, combine all rub ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  2. Pat ribs down with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Generously apply the rub to all surfaces of the ribs, ensuring complete coverage.
  4. Place ribs in a smoker or on a grill at 225°F (107°C).
  5. Smoke or grill for approximately 3 hours, adding apple juice spray every 30 minutes to keep them moist.
  6. Wrap ribs tightly in aluminum foil with 1/2 cup of apple juice.
  7. Continue to cook for another 1 hour and 30 minutes wrapped.
  8. Unwrap ribs and cook for an additional 30 minutes to allow for a nice bark to form.
  9. Remove ribs from smoker or grill and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve and enjoy your delicious fall-off-the-bone ribs!
