Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 racks baby back ribs
  • ½ cup Pork Protocol BBQ rub
  • 4 Tb Butter
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 1½ cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker to about 275°.
  • Remove the membrane on the back of the ribs and then use a boning knife to separate them into individual ribs.
  • Generously season all 4 sides of each rib with Pork Protocol or your favorite BBQ rub.
  • Place the ribs on the smoker lying on their side for about 90 minutes (or until they reach an internal temperature near 165°), flipping them over halfway.

  • Transfer the ribs to a foil pan. Add pats of butter, brown sugar, honey, and your favorite BBQ sauce and gently mix to incorporate.
  • Cover tightly with aluminum foil and return to the smoker for another 60-90 minutes, until they've reached between 200°-208° internally.
  • Optionally, you can uncover the pans for the last half hour to allow the BBQ sauce to set up a little and caramelize.
