Ingredients

2 racks of Pork Spare Ribs
4 tbsp of bbq rub

Mop Sauce

½ Cup Barbecue Sauce
½ Cup Ketchup
¼ Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
½ Cup Brown Sugar

Instructions

Remove the silverskin from the underside of your ribs and then season both sides with bbq rub.
Let the ribs sit for 30 minutes and then dust with the rub again.
Setup your smoker to smoke using indirect heat at 250 degrees.
Smoke the ribs at 250 for approximately six and a half hours.
After 90 minutes of smoke spritz the ribs with a 50/50 combo of apple juice and apple cider vinegar every 45 minutes until the 4 hour mark.
At the 4 hour mark start mopping the ribs with your mop sauce every 45 minutes.
The ribs are done when the internal temp of the ribs hits 190-200 degrees or they pass the bend test. Typically takes about 6 hours, but it's different for every rack of ribs.
