Step 1

Mix together the dry rub and generously coat the meat evenly with the rub. Let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before adding to the smoker.

Step 2

Prep your smoker and get it set for 225 degrees F.

Step 3

Once the smoker is hot and the meat is ready place it directly on the grates. Cover and let cook for about 3 hours.

Step 4

After 3 hours wrap the ribs. I use a foil pan and place the ribs in the pan, add about 1/2 cup of liquid to help keep them moist, and then tightly wrap with foil.

Step 5

Add the pan back to the smoker and cook for about 2 hours.

Step 6

After 2 hours remove the foil and check the meat. You will probably need to cook for about another hour to get them around 185 degrees F and fork tender. You can also baste with your favorite sauce at this point if desired.

Step 7

After the ribs are tender remove from the pan and shred. Serve with your favorite sauce and enjoy.
