Instructions

  1. Preheat smoker using your favorite wood, we used oak. Set smoker between 230º to 250ºF. Keep temperature constant by adding more wood or charcoal as needed.
  2. Prepare ribs by first removing silver skin if it still remains on under side of ribs. You can also score under side of ribs with a knife if you can't remove silver skin.
  3. Rub olive oil evenly over entire surface, season liberally with salt and pepper. Place ribs directly onto smoke rack.
  4. In a spray bottle combine beer, apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Spray ribs with this every 30 minutes during smoking time.
  5. Allow ribs to smoke for 4.5 to 6 hours or until pull apart tender. Rest for at least 20 minutes before cutting and serving.
