  • 9 tbsp Butter During wrapping
  • 6 tbsp Brown sugar during wrapping

Dry Rub

  • 2 tbsp Kosher salt
  • tbsp Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp Onion powder
  • 2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Cayenne pepper

Honey Siracha Glaze

  • 1 cup Honey
  • ½ cup Siracha sauce
  • ¼ cup Rice wine vinegar
  • 1 whole Lime
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Prep your racks of ribs by cutting off any excess fat and removing the membrane off from the back of the ribs. It’s best to use a paper towel to help grip the membrane. Make sure you pat the ribs dry with a paper towel.
  • Prep all of your seasoning and have them measured out individually. Now you want to apply mustard to the rack of ribs, about a tablespoon each. Make sure to cover the surface area. Now you can season generously, front and back.
  • While your ribs are sitting get your smoker set up for smoking. You want the ambient temp to be 250 degrees. Once your hit is set add 2-3 chunks of hickory wood and get the ribs on for the 3-2-1 method. This is where you smoke your ribs for 3 hours, wrap them for 2 hours and then smoke unwrapped for another hour. It’s a full-proof method. 
  • After the first 2 hours check your ribs and mist with apple cider vinegar. Do this every thirty minutes, basically twice. After the 3-3 1/2 hours of unwrapped smoking, you want to have your butchers paper waiting. Sit the ribs bone side up and top with 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, do this to each rack. Wrap them and place them back on the smoker for 2 more hours. 
  • Unwrap and get them back on the smoker for the final hour. You are looking for a nice bark to the ribs and go by feel for when they are done. After thirty mins began your honey sriracha glaze. 
  • On an induction stovetop, or whatever you use for your saucepan, get your pan to a medium-high temp and add the ingredients for the Honey Sriracha glaze. Boil for 3-5 mins and then drop to low and look for a nice consistency in your sauce. Glaze your ribs and let the glaze set for 15-20 mins.
  • Remove and serve!
