Sweet Fire Rib Rub Recipes

SWEET N TASTY BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Make the dry rub by adding all the dry ingredients and mixing well.
• Remove the ribs membrane from the underside of the rack. Insert a small utensil under the membrane skin at a bone location and gently pry the membrane up so that you can grab it with a paper towel. Use the paper towel to get a hold of the membrane and pull of the membrane.
• Liberally apply the rub to the top and bottom of the rack of ribs. Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Start your grill, oven or smoker and set the temperature to 250 degrees. Place a water pan into the grill, under the grill grate, and fill the pan halfway with hot steaming water.
• Place your ribs onto the grill and close the lid. Rotate the ribs once after 2 hours. After 4 hours apply the barbecue sauce to the ribs and then close the lid for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, check the temperature of the ribs. The internal temperature of the ribs should be between 195 degrees and 205 degrees. Cover the ribs and let the ribs rest in a warm place for 20 to 30 minutes before carving.
• While your ribs begin to cook, make the barbecue sauce. The sauce and the rub can be made a head of time.
• Serve the barbecue sauce on the side and provide bottles of hot sauce for your guests that prefer hot and spicy ribs. Enjoy!

SWEET FIRE RIB RUB

SWEET SMOKED PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Stir salt, white sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, black pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, and cumin together in a small bowl to make the dry rub. Rub the spice mixture into the baby back ribs on all sides. Wrap the ribs well with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
• Unwrap baby back ribs and place onto the wire racks of the smoker in a single layer.
• Place the racks into a smoker, fill the smoker pan with apple, grape, pear, or cherry chips, and bring the smoker to 270 degrees F (130 degrees C). Smoke for 1 hour.
• Stir together the apple juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and the barbeque sauce. Brush the ribs with the sauce every 30 to 45 minutes after the first hour. Cook the ribs in the smoker until the meat is no longer pink and begins to "shrink" back from the bones, 3 to 4 hours. Brush the sauce onto the ribs one last time 30 minutes before the ribs are ready to be taken out of the smoker.
• Once the ribs are done, wrap them tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the juices to reabsorb into the meat and make the ribs moist.
