Competition Smoked Baby Back Ribs might be easy to prepare, but the flavors are worthy of any challenge. This recipe calls to start smoking the ribs with a dry rub and then apply a wet rub with apple juice and your favorite southern style BBQ sauce halfway through the cook. Utilizing the 2-2-1 method, the baby back rack of ribs will be fall off the bone tender with a tangy and sweet punch from the sauce. Pair this one with a side of coleslaw, mac and cheese or potato salad and you'll be serving up a barbecue classic.

Ingredients

2 Cups Apple, Juice

2 Racks Baby Back Rib

Pit Boss Kentucky Whiskey Barrel BBQ Sauce

Special Tools

Aluminum Foil

Directions

Preheat your to smoke mode or 200°F.

Remove the membrane on the back side of the ribs with a knife and a paper towel. Rub with your preferred seasoning.

Rub with your preferred seasoning.

Place the seasoned baby back ribs on the grates of your grill, meat side up, and smoke for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, remove from the grill and turn the temperature up to 250°F.

Create an aluminum boat for each set of ribs and place the ribs inside. Pour a cup of apple juice over the ribs into the boat and seal the aluminum foil.

Return the ribs to the grill for another 2 hours.

Remove the ribs from the apple juice bath and coat with barbecue sauce.

Turn the temperature of the grill up to 350°F. Return to the ribs to the grill after the grill has preheated.

You're just trying to get the barbecue sauce to firm up a bit, so only leave your ribs on the grill for about 15 minutes. Don't leave the grill during this step - the sugar from the apple juice and barbecue sauce can burn very easily, so stay close by to supervise.
