Instructions

  1. 01

    Preheat your Gravity Series® 1050 to 250°F. Use oak wood chunks or chips in the charcoal hopper for a bold, smoky flavor.

  2. 02

    Score the membrane on the back side of the ribs (no need to remove it entirely).

  3. 03

    Flip the rack meat-side down and slice between each bone to create individual rib sections—perfect for “party rib” style.

  4. 04

    Lightly coat each rib with olive oil and apply a generous amount of beef rub on all sides.

  5. 05

    Place the ribs directly on the smoker grates.

  6. 06

    Let them smoke for 2 hours, spritzing with water at the 45-minute mark, and then every 30 minutes after that.

  7. 07

    Transfer the ribs into an aluminum pan and add sauce ingredients.

  8. 08

    Cover tightly with foil and return to the smoker for another 2 hours.

  9. 09

    After cooking, remove the ribs from the foil and baste them with the rich glaze from the pan.

  10. 10

    Let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy these sticky, smoky bites hot!

MASTER IT.

There's an app for that.
