Matthew’s Baby Back or Spare Ribs

Ingredients:

1 Rack of Baby Back or Spare Ribs
1 Bottle 5-0 BBQ Dry Rub 
1 Bottle Outlaw BBQ Sauce
  

 

Directions:

Prepare your ribs by removing the top membrane on the back side. There will be two layers of connecting membrane on the ribs. It is very important to remove only the top layer. If the top layer is left on, the meat will be hard to eat and will not fall free from the bone. If you remove both layers, the ribs may fall apart during cooking. To remove the membrane use a small knife and place it between any rib and the membrane then pull upward. This will create a gap between the rib and the membrane. Place your finger in that gap and then pull the membrane from the ribs. If the membrane breaks and there is still some left on the ribs continue the previous steps.

Now cover your ribs generously with 5-0 BBQ Dry Rub.

Bring smoker to 225 degrees and place the ribs on the smoker away from the heat source. Smoke for a period of 4-6 hours or until the meat begins to break free of the bones.

Now cover the ribs with your favorite flavor of 5-0 BBQ Outlaw Sauce and leave on the smoker for another 30 minuets. Remove ribs and serve.
