Instructions

1. Prepare your ribs
   • First thing is to check the ingredients on your ribs. If there are preservatives in them then you need to know that equates to more salt and you should hold back on whatever salt seasonings you add later in the recipe.
   • Flip your ribs upside down and remove the one or two end ribs that are made mostly of fat.
   • Taking a butter knife, slide it under the membrane on the back to loosen it, then with a paper towel pull it off of the ribs entirely. It may take multiple passes if the rib is a fighter!
   • Find your tallest rib bone, usually the fourth one in (or second if you’ve already removed two) and go about an 1/8th of an inch above that and make a nice, even cut all the way through, length-wise.
   • If you’re cooking for competition, or you just want to wow your friends and loved ones, find your tenth rib in, and cut out the rest. Once this is completed use a sharp pair of kitchen shears to cut and round out the edges to give it that real wow effect!
2. Injection
   • Taking your 14-16 gauge needle, fill it with your sauce (Blue’s Hog Marinade Mix mixed with Essentia 9.5 pH water) underneath the top of the meat to plump it up.
3. Season
   • Starting at the back of the ribs apply your Smoke’n Magic Rib Rub. This will be a light application
   • The second coat is a liberal application of Smoke’n Magic Pork Rub. Let sit for 30 minutes, bone side up to let the rub set in.
   • Flip your ribs onto a wire cooking rack side by side, nice and close. This time add the same Smoke’n Magic Rib and Pork rubs, but more liberally. Let sit for an additional 30 minutes.
4. Smoke
   • On wire racks smoke at 300° for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
5. Wrap
   • Remove your ribs and using a paper towel remove any unwanted charred bits from the ribs.
   • Place one stick of butter cut in half over enough aluminum foil to wrap your ribs. Place the ribs bone side down over the salted (we prefer Kerrygold) butter.
   • Pour about half a bottle of Smoke’n Magic Southern Twang BBQ sauce over the top of each rib.
   • Give each rib a liberal pour of 100% pure amber maple syrup and then a healthy sprinkling of Sugar in the Raw over the top.
   • Wrap your ribs in your foil and then place back in your smoker at 300° for an additional 1 hour and 20 minutes.
   • Remove and unwrap the top of your ribs and pour a little more Smoke’n Magic Southern Twang BBQ sauce over the top and add them, as is, back onto your smoker until they’re glazed to perfection!
