Prep the Ribs
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Remove any dangling pieces of meat or fat. If using a full sparerib, also remove the breastbone, rib tips, and square off the ends of the rack.
Season the Ribs
Apply a binder of olive oil, hot sauce, or mustard to both sides of the ribs. Evenly sprinkle dry rub on the ribs, completely coating both sides. Gently rub into the meat to ensure the dry rub sticks.
Smoke the Ribs
Smoke the ribs, uncovered, for 3 hours at 225 degrees. Use hickory wood logs, chunks, or pellets (optional). Spritz the ribs with apple cider vinegar or apple juice every half hour to keep them moist.
Wrap the Ribs
Individually wrap the racks in heavy duty aluminum foil, dull side out, and return to the BBQ. Increase the temperature to 250, and cook for an additional 2 hours.
Sauce the Ribs
Carefully unwrap the ribs and remove from the foil. Baste the top of the ribs with BBQ sauce and return to the BBQ, unwrapped. Cook for 15 minutes or until the sauce reduces and is tacky to the touch. Remove the ribs from the BBQ, let rest for 15 minutes, slice between ribs and serve.
