Smoked Beef Short Ribs (Step by Step)

Step 1: Soak you wood chips for at least 1 hour.

Step 2: Meanwhile remove the white membrane on the bottom of ribs.

Step 3: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chilli powder, sea salt, garlic powder and pepper.

Step 4: Place the ribs on a double layer of foil and sprinkle the spice mix over the ribs.

Step 5: Rub the ribs with the spices using up all the spices.

Step 6: Fold the foil over the ribs and allow to sit at room temperature for about 45 to an hour. (I do this while my chips are soaking)

Step 7: Prepare smoker according to manufactures instructions.

Step 8: Remove the ribs from the foil and place them, bone side down, on the racks of the smoker.

Step 9: Light the smoker and smoke between 225 and 250 degrees for 4 hours.

Step 11: Open the smoker and quickly mop the sauce over the ribs.

Step 12: Close the smoker up and continue to smoke for another 2 hours.
