Tender, slowly grilled spareribs are brushed with a spicy cider vinegar ‘mop’ while grilling. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 5 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
- 5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 racks Smithfield® Pork Spareribs, membrane removed
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup Handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained
- ¾ cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite)
Directions
Step 1
About one hour before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine chili powder, salt, garlic powder and pepper in small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of dry rub. Pat ribs dry with paper towels; sprinkle both sides of each rack with the remaining rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
Step 2
For the mop, whisk together vinegar, water and reserved 2 tablespoons chili rub in a bowl. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 250 to 300 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
Step 4
Place the ribs, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 1 hour. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
Step 5
Continue cooking 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Brush both sides of ribs with mop mixture every 45 minutes. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.
Step 6
Brush ribs with barbecue sauce. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more sauce.
Step 7
Cut the racks into 3- or 4-rib sections and serve.
Tips
Serving suggestions: Serve these ribs with cool and creamy cole slaw and twice-baked potatoes.
