Smoked Rib Scraps

Step 1

Prepare your smoker for 225 degrees F. Add your preferred wood. Fruit woods are recommended.

Step 2

Blot the meat dry with paper towels. Apply a little yellow mustard or vegetable oil onto your rib scraps—season well with rub.

Step 3

Place the seasoned ribs scraps onto the grates of your smoker, close the lid, and let them cook for 1- 1 1/2 hours.

Step 4

After this time, spritz with warmed apple juice, as needed.

Step 5

Let the rib scraps cook for an additional 1- 1 1/2 hours or until they reach an internal temperature of 185 degrees F.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the ribs scraps from the smoker and rest for a good 15-20 minutes before using.
