1
Stir together the spices and remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Rub both sides of the ribs with the spice mixture.
2
Place the ribs directly on the grates of a smoker at 225 degrees F with a water pan. Any type of smoker works. Smoke the ribs for three hours, spritzing every hour with apple cider.
3
Create a makeshift pan with aluminum foil and add apple cider and butter. Place the ribs in the foil and seal. Smoke again for two hours.
4
Remove the ribs from the foil. Brush with your favorite BBQ sauce. Place on the smoker again. Smoke for one more hour.
5
Let the meat rest. Place the ribs on a cutting board and slice individually. Serve with more BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy!
