Ingredientes

• 2 Racks Pork Ribs (St Louis style or baby back pork ribs)
• 1/4 Cup Smoked Paprika
• 1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
• 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
• 2 teaspoon Cumin

Preparación

1. 1

   --- For the Rub: ---

2. 2

   Mix all ingredients together and set aside.

3. 3

   Check the underside of the ribs. If there is a thin layer of silver skin, remove it from the bone-side of the ribs by working the tip of a butter knife underneath the membrane (choose to pierce it over a middle bone.) Use paper towels to get a firm grip, then tear the membrane off.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, combine the mustard, 1/4 cup of apple cider (reserve the rest). Spread the mixture thinly on both sides of the ribs and season with the rub.

5. 5

   --- To Cook: ---

6. 6

   Set the Smoker temperature to 180℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

7. 7

   Smoke the ribs, meat-side up for 3 hours. Transfer the ribs to a rimmed baking sheet and increase the smoker temperature to 225℉.

8. 8

   Tear off 4 long sheets of Peach Butcher Paper or tin foil. Place the butcher paper (or foil) down with a rack of ribs on top and pull up the sides of the paper to keep the liquid enclosed.

9. 9

   Sprinkle half the brown sugar on one rack, then top with half the honey and half of the remaining apple cider. Lay another piece of paper (or foil) on top and tightly crimp the edges so there is no leakage. Repeat with the remaining rack of ribs.

10. 10

    Return the ribs to the smoker and cook for an additional 3-4 hours.

11. 11

    Arrange the ribs directly on the grill grate and continue to grill 60 minutes more.
