These spare ribs are meaty, juicy, and competition-grade. Just smoke low and slow and add my homemade Carolina-style BBQ sauce for incredible and authentic spare ribs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"prod-block\"><\/div>\n<h2><strong>How to Smoke Pork Spare Ribs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To cook St. Louis-Style Spare Ribs, dry the ribs and remove any membrane from the back. Season liberally with my flavorful dry rub on both sides and allow the meat to come to room temperature before smoking. Preheat grill to 250\u00b0F indirect heat and add pre-soaked wood chips directly over the coals. Don\u2019t have a smoker? Check out this guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/smoking-steak\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">turn your grill into a smoker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>St. Louis-Style Spare Ribs will take about 2 1\/2 hours to smoke. Here\u2019s the timeline for smoking incredibly tender and juicy spare ribs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Place ribs on smoker meaty side up and smoke one hour<\/li>\n<li>Spritz with apple-vinegar mixture<\/li>\n<li>Smoke 30 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Flip ribs<\/li>\n<li>Smoke 30 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Spritz<\/li>\n<li>Smoke 30 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Chef Tip: Spritzing with an apple juice and apple cider vinegar mixture keeps the meat moist and allows the incredible smoke flavor to permeate the spare ribs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once ribs are tender and rib bones are exposed, mop with Carolina-style BBQ sauce on both sides. Serve with smoked mac \u2018n\u2019 cheese bites and a side of BBQ sauce.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image
