GETTING READY:

1. Remove the silver skin/membrane on the bone side of the ribs.

2. Generously coat the bone side with the rub, and let sit for 15 -20 minutes.

3. Prep your grill or smoker to around 225ºF (108ºC).

4. Flip ribs over and coat the meat side with rub, let sit for 15 - 20 minutes.

MAKING:

5. Put the ribs on the smoker over indirect heat, and let them go for at least an hour without touching them.

6. Check them after an hour and spray them with vinegar and apple juice.

7. Ribs are done when the are 'floppy' if you pick them up in the middle; or the bones feel loose.

8. An internal temp of between 190ºF - 200ºF is what you are shooting for; this gives a maximum rendering of the fat.
