St. Louis Spare Ribs - Aaron Franklin Style

• portions: 4 servings
• temps actif: 30 minutes
• temps total: 5 hours 30 minutes

Ingrédients

2 racks of pork spare ribs

4 Tbsp coarse-ground pepper, a step below cracked pepper (this part is key)

2 Tbsp coarse sea salt

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

3/4 cup water

BBQ sauce, your choice (they’re mostly the same honestly)

Instructions

Heat your smoker to 275 F

Trim any excess fat off your ribs. Do not remove any membranes on the back of the ribs.

Mix the rub and shake it on the ribs on both sides evenly until you have a nice texture forming. See pictures.

Smoke for 3 hours - spritzing with a mixture of 25% Apple Cider Vinegar and 75% Water every 45 minutes

Coat with a few tablespoons of BBQ Sauce on each side and Wrap the ribs meat side down. Choose your favorite BBQ sauce. Because the ribs have quite a bit of salt and pepper on them, I think a sweet sauce pairs the best. Smoke for 2 Hours.

Rest for 20-30 minutes in foil, cut and serve. Try this. You will like it.... a lot. For only having salt and pepper on them for a rub... these blew my mind.
