Steps:

• Preheat an electric smoker to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Sprinkle salt over rib tips. Add BBQ rub and massage into rib tips to evenly coat.
• Place rib tips on the preheated smoker and smoke for 1 1/2 hours, spritzing with apple juice throughout the cook time.

OVEN-SMOKED RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 225 degrees. While oven heats, mix together dry ingredients and rub them all over pork.
• Layer bottom of roasting pan with hickory or oak chips and add enough water to create a shallow pool coating bottom of pan and moistening chips; do not drown them.
• Put a rack over chips and put rubbed meat on rack. Cover entire roasting pan tightly with foil, making a tent at top so smoke-flavored steam can circulate around meat. Bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until meat is cooked and tender.
• Carefully remove foil from pan and run ribs under broiler, watching carefully, until nicely crisp and browned, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. If necessary, remove silver skin from the back of spare ribs with a paper towel.
• In a small bowl, mix to combine dark brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, cayenne, cumin, dried oregano, garlic powder, 3 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons peppercorns. Place spare ribs on a large piece of tin foil. Rub smoked paprika into the ribs first, followed by the spice mix. Fold tin foil around ribs, crimping to secure.

• Remove foil from ribs and pour any accumulated cooking juices into barbecue sauce. Whisk until smooth. Begin basting ribs with barbecue sauce and continue to bake, basting ribs every 15 minutes, for an additional hour, raising temperature to 400 degrees F for the final 15 minutes, until ribs are very tender and bones are nearly falling from the meat.
