Imagine this. You take the first bite of a rib. It’s tender, juicy and full of flavor. Well, you can stop imagining because with Big Poppa’s Sweet Money & Smithfield Loin Back Ribs recipe – ribs like this are a possibility.
You can use any store bought BBQ sauce for this recipe; however Big Poppa’s special blend of Granny’s & Tabasco Pepper Jelly will give you the best tasting results.
Course: Main Dish Cuisine: American Prep Time: 30-40 min Cook Time: 4-5 hrs Servings: 6-8
2 Loin Back Rib Racks
2 tablespoons Big Poppa Smokers Sweet Money Championship Rub
1 stick of butter (Pure Irish butter recommended)
1 cup apple juice or water (your choice), in a spray bottle for misting
1 tablespoon honey (clover recommended)
2 teaspoons brown sugar (1 per side)
1 jar Tabasco Pepper Jelly
1 bottle Granny’s BBQ Sauce
Preheat smoker to 250F
Remove ribs from packaging
Pull membrane off the back (bone side) – use a paper towel to get a good grip
Season both sides of ribs with Big Poppa Smokers Sweet Money Championship Rub (to taste) and rub the seasoning in (don’t forget the edges)
Let the ribs “sweat” or rest for about 20 minutes
Place ribs in the smoker for 2 hours in indirect heat or until an internal temperature of 160F is reached – spray with water or apple juice every 20 min
Prep for foil
Add 3 slices of Irish butter, sprinkle brown sugar, and honey to foil
Place ribs on top of the foil face down, add 3 slices of Irish butter, sprinkle brown sugar and honey on top of the ribs
Wrap the ribs very tight with double foil, place ribs back in smoker for about 1 – 1.5 hours in indirect heat
Make sauce: add Granny’s BBQ Sauce and Tabasco Pepper Jelly to a bowl, whisk
Check on ribs: if ribs bend, they are ready to baste
Remove foil from ribs, place on the grill in direct heat and baste ribs with sauce
Leave ribs in smoker for 5 minutes – bone facing the smoker
Remove ribs from smoker, slice ribs, baste with sauce and serve
