Fire up the smoker with apple wood chunks, set for 250 degrees.
When the smoker hits 250 degrees and add the ribs bone side down.
After 1 hour and 45 mins begin to spritz with apple cider vinegar, spritz every 45 mins to 1 hour.
At the 2 1/2 hour mark begin to make your Spicy Hoisin Glaze.
Over a medium heat add a saucepan. Now add the hoisin, light brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha and peanut sauce. Let simmer for 6-8 mins and let cool for 5-10 mins.
