Fall off the bone, smokey, tender ribs are one of the best things ever. These were so good we didn’t even need barbecue sauce. I just asked my ten year to describe the ribs we had the other night. His description word for these smoked ribs was “delicious”.
My husband has wanted a smoker ever since he first tasted our brother in law Dan’s homemade smoked pulled pork. It is amazing. We love good barbecue which isn’t that easy to get in NJ. A few weeks ago he ordered a smoker. I am so glad he did. I think it may have been the best $100 we’ve ever spent. There is a lot more delicious smoked meat in our near future.
We got this Smoke Hollow Propane Smoker:
At the time of posting it is only being sold by third party sellers which means the price has gone up. All we did was buy the cheapest 30″ smoker Amazon had. There a few more great options for sale if this one is not available.
Edit: My dear husband said I needed to come back and give my brother in law Dan credit for creating the timing recipe for the smoked ribs. I’m happy to do so. And he needed me to tell you that he was the one who actually cooked the ribs. Not me. Thank you honey for cooking the delicious ribs!
Sweet BBQ Rub & Smoked Ribs – Low Carb, THM S, Grain/Gluten/Dairy/Sugar Free
Ingredients:
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp paprika (if you are not smoking the ribs I recommend using smoked paprika)
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
5 lb. rack of ribs
Directions:
Combine rub ingredients. Rub the rub on the ribs. Cook the ribs. Eat the ribs.
How we cook ribs in our smoker:
We used cherry wood. It has a mild smokiness and gives a sweet flavor to the meat.
Preheat the smoker to 225. Use a handful of cherry chunks that have been soaked in water for 30 min. Put ribs on rack for 3 hours at 225.
Removed the ribs and wrap them in foil adding 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. Put ribs back in the smoker for 2 hours at 225.
Remove ribs and unwrap them from the foil. Put them back in for 1 hour on 225. Be careful and gentle as moving the ribs at this point, they are completely falling apart.
Remove and eat.
