Instructions: 

  • 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!!!!
