The most perfect, tender, smoked bbq ribs recipe. The first thing you need to know, is that good ribs are going to take time. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a full day thing, but, you need to be smoking your ribs for at least three hours. A very crucial step of making pork ribs, is to make sure to remove the silverskin, it seems so evident, but it’s an easy step to forget if you’re new to the rib game. If you don’t remove it, it doesn’t break down in the cooking process, so you end up with a chewy, hard membrane that is very unappetizing. Not to mention, your rubs and sauces can’t get through the silverskin, so your ribs will be missing out on that flavour. The first half of your cook is going to have the ribs uncovered. The second half of your cook, your ribs are going to be wrapped, also a much-needed step to ensure they stay moist and tender. When you pull your ribs out of the smoker around the halfway point, you’re going to add your bbq sauce to your ribs and then double wrap them – first in parchment paper and then in aluminum foil. Then your ribs go back in the smoker covered for the remainder of the cook. When you pull them out, they will be so tender and juicy, pull apart, and so tasty.
Enjoy!

Instructions
Preheat your smoker to 275F.
Trim the ends of your rack of ribs and remove the silverskin. Rub both sides with yellow mustard and season with Alchemy Brown Rub. Place in the smoker for about 1.5-2 hours. Check on your ribs after about an hour and spray with some Coca Cola in a spray bottle to keep them moist.
On your work surface, put down a piece of tin foil and a piece of parchment paper on top. After 1.5-2 hours in the smoker, remove your ribs from the smoker and place on your parchment paper. Drizzle with honey and cover with Alchemy Blue BBQ Sauce (more to come on that) and then wrap in the parchment paper and tin foil. Place back in the smoker for another 1-1.5 hours.
When your ribs are almost done, make your slaw by shredding your cabbage, thinly slicing your carrot and onion and placing everything in a bowl. Season with salt and dried oregano, add in apple cider vinegar and mix to coat.
Once your ribs are done, after about a total of 3-3.5 hours of smoking, remove from the smoker, unwrap and cut up your ribs. Place on a platter with some coleslaw and pickles.
