Smoked pork spare ribs are a classic American barbecue dish, but this recipe takes it to a whole new level. The dry rub and mop sauce give the ribs a complex and satisfying flavor that will have everyone coming back for seconds. Smoking the meat low and slow allows it to tenderize and absorb the flavors of the dry rub and mop sauce, while still retaining its moisture.

Instructions

1.Preheat smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
2.Rinse ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
3.Mix together all the ingredients for the dry rub in a bowl.
4.Rub the spareribs all over with the dry rub, making sure to coat both sides. Let stand for 15 minutes.
5.Place the ribs fat side up in the smoker and smoke for 3 hours.
6.Meanwhile, whisk together the ingredients for the mop sauce in a bowl.
7.After 3 hours, brush the mop sauce over the ribs and continue to smoke for another hour.
8.Brush more mop sauce over the ribs every 30 minutes until done, approximately 6 hours total or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
9.Remove the ribs from the smoker and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
