Number Of Ingredients 21

4 pounds racks baby back pork ribs (2 racks) (You can use spare ribs)
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup ground black pepper
1/2 cup paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
1/2 tablespoon minced dry onion
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
vegetable oil
4 cups brown sugar
12 ounces tomato paste
1 cup water
1 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (7.5 ounces)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup minced garlic
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 tablespoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat pellet smoker to 225 degrees fahrenheit.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, salt, pepper, minced onion, garlic powder, cayenne, and paprika. Whisk together.
  • Place your ribs, with the bottom facing up, on your baking sheet. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
  • Drizzle a bit of vegetable oil (around 2 tablespoons, but you don't have to be exact) on the back of the ribs and rub it all over.
  • Sprinkle about ⅙ of the spice mixture on the back of each rack of ribs and rub it in thoroughly.
  • Flip the ribs and repeat the oil and spice process, just divide the remaining seasoning mixture between the two racks
  • Place your 8x8 pan of water to the back of your smoker and then place your racks of ribs in the smoker.
  • Cook for 3 hours at 225 degrees, spraying every half an hour with the apple cider vinegar. Spray them just enough to make them shiny, you don't have to be exact here.
  • Place foil on your baking sheet, making sure that the foil is about 5 inches longer than the ribs on each side.
  • Place your ribs on the foil, generously squirt with apple cider vinegar, seal it tightly, and continue to bake at 225 degrees for 2 more hours.
  • Remove the ribs from the foil, smother with BBQ sauce, and place them back in the smoker, without the foil, and smoke for 1 more hour. Enjoy!
  • Add all the wet ingredients to a medium boiling pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients until smooth. You can also use a normal blender if you have one large enough, or do it in batches.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and simmer for 30-45 minutes. The longer you simmer, the thicker it will get.

Categories     Pork

Time 3h35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 lbs pork baby back ribs
2 cups water
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Cut the rib slabs in half, leaving 6 to 8 ribs per section. In a large roasting pan, arrange the ribs evenly, then add the water. Cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil to prevent steam from escaping. Bake for 3 hours.
  • About 2 hours into the baking time, make the sauce. In a large saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients. Simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Prepare the coals in a barbecue. Remove the ribs from the roasting pan. Discard the water.
  • Cover the ribs with the sauce, saving about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce for later use at the table. Grill the ribs on the barbecue for about 5 minutes per side, or until slightly charred.
  • Serve with the remaining sauce and lots of paper towels or moist towelettes.
  • ***ALTERNATE SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS: Place the ribs in a slow cooker, pouring the sauce over. Let cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is very tender.
