Let’s make some ribs!! This is so exciting. Preheat smoker to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.
Trim the ribs and remove the membrane from both racks of ribs. Season with dry rub. Massage the rub into the ribs.
Place the ribs, bone side down, on the smoker and let smoke for 3 hours
Lay out two sheets of 18-inch wide tin foil side by side on a large work surface. Put 2 tablespoons of butter on each sheet of foil. Sprinkle each sheet with brown sugar and chilli powder. Next, pour on the maple syrup.
Remove the ribs from the smoker, place them meat side down onto the butter and brown sugar. Fold up all 4 sides and make sure there are no holes for the steam to escape from.
Place the tin foil-wrapped ribs back on the smoker for 2 more hours.
After 2 hours, remove the ribs from the foil. Return them to the smoker and baste them with the sauce of your choice. Close the lid and smoke for additional 30-60 minutes or until the sauce is set and ribs are tender.
Chow down and Enjoy!!! Ribs are celebration food to me, so savour and enjoy!!!!
