SMOKY BBQ RUB

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a jar, and give it a good shaking.
• It doesn't matter what order you go in. Make sure you label the jar with the date you made the rub. Typically 2 months is a good shelf life for your homemade rubs. Enjoy!

SMOKED RIB RUB RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix your dry spices together in a small bowl or other container.
• If it hasn't been done already, flip your ribs over and make a small cut into the white membrane cover the back closest to one of the ends.
• Using a paper towel to help grip, slowly and gently pull the membrane down until it separates from the ribs, using a knife to clean up any scraps.
• Liberally coat both sides of your ribs in spices, rubbing into the meat to ensure everything is covered.
• Wrap the rack in plastic wrap and place on a large baking tray in the refrigerator over night and up to a full 24 hours to let the flavors develop.
• Half an hour before cook time, take your ribs from the fridge and let them start to warm up at room temperature.
• This helps them to cook more evenly while they're smoking as the inside and outside will be roughly even in temperature, avoiding overcooking the outside with a raw inside.
• Additionally, soak your wood chips in hot water at this time if you're using them instead of chunks.
• Fill your smoker halfway with charcoal and light it.
• Close the lid and allow it to start heating up.
• If you're using a thermometer, it should read around 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
• When your charcoal has burnt down and your smoker is up to temperature, add more charcoal, toss on your wood, add the grate, fill the water tank, and close the lid once again.
• This gives the wood a chance to start smoking and the new material a chance to burn.
• After another ten minutes or so, you're finally ready to cook.
• Place your ribs meat side up into the center of your smoker and close the lid.
• Depending on the type of rib you use, it'll most likely take around four hours to cook fully (baby backs run shorter, St. Louis run longer).
• You can check this by sight if the meat has begun to pull away from the bones or by temperature when a rib measures 195 degrees Fahrenheit internally.
• As your ribs smoke, make sure to monitor the levels of wood, charcoal, and water in your smoker and add more of each as needed.
• Additionally, keep the temperature consistent by adjusting the air vents, especially when introducing new fuel to the fire.
• Every half hour, spray your ribs down with apple juice or apple cider from a spray bottle.
• This both flavors the meat and helps keep the outside moist during the long cooking process.
• In the last half hour of cooking, paint on a thick layer of barbecue sauce across the meat and allow it to caramelize on the outside, though be careful not to burn it.
• If it appears to be burning, remove the ribs from the heat or tent them in aluminum foil until they're fully cooked.
• After removing your ribs from the smoker, allow them to rest half an hour at minimum while wrapped loosely in aluminum foil.
• This gives the meat a chance to relax after being cooked and lets the juices redistribute throughout, making for a more tender, flavorful, and juicy rib.
• Use this time strategically to finish any side dishes or meal prep you hadn't to gotten yet.
• Once the ribs have rested, it's time to eat.

SMOKED MEMPHIS 'WET' RIBS

Steps:

• Mix paprika and mustard until blended; rub evenly onto both sides of ribs. Refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, soak wood chips in water.
• Drain wood chips. If using gas grill, place half the chips on each of 2 large sheets of heavy-duty foil; fold each to make packet. Use fork to poke several holes in top of each packet.
• Heat grill for indirect grilling: Light one side of grill, leaving other side unlit. Close lid; heat grill to 300ºF. Place 1 foil packet over lit burners in bottom of grill. (Or if using charcoal grill, sprinkle half the drained chips directly over hot coals.)
• Place ribs, meat sides up, on grate over unlit area. Grill 2 hours, monitoring for consistent grill temperature and adding remaining wood chips halfway through the grilling time.
• Brush ribs with half the barbecue sauce. Grill 30 min., turning and brushing occasionally with remaining barbecue sauce.

SMOKED PRIME RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Sprinkle salt over entire roast and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate, 4 hours to 24 hours.
• Combine olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Set aside for flavors to blend, at least 1 hour.
• Pour most of the oil mixture over the roast and massage into the top and sides of meat. Flip the roast and pour remaining oil mixture over roast and massage. Place roast on a plate and refrigerate, 1 hour to 12 hours.
• Preheat smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) to 230 degrees F (107 degrees C). Add hickory or pecan wood chips to smoker.
• Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of roast. Place roast into the smoker and roast until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) to 550 degrees F (288 degrees C).
• Bake the roast in the preheated oven until crust is crunchy, produced a reverse sear, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow roast to rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
