  • Coat ribs evenly with rub. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.

  • Preheat smoker to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) per manufacturer's instructions. Place ribs on smoker meat-side up. Smoke until browned, about 1 1/2 hour. Remove from smoker.

  • Pour apple cider into an aluminum roasting pan. Position ribs in the pan, standing on end if needed. Cover with aluminum foil. Return to the smoker. Continue smoking ribs until tender, about 2 hours more.

  • Transfer ribs to a grill. Brush barbeque sauce on top. Grill until dark brown, about 10 minutes per side.

Made as written except that I used St. Louis style ribs and I omitted step 5. We like our sauce on the side instead of smothered on the meat. These turned out really good but I would leave out the nutmeg and allspice next time. I happened to have all of the spices on hand but if you didn't and had to go buy them all it would cost you a small fortune. I also found that these needed way more than 3 1/2 hours. Plan on at least 5. After I smoked for 2 hours in the vinegar I put the ribs back in the smoker uncovered for a couple more hours to get a nice bark on them and it was in those last 2 hours when they became fall off the bone tender.

Great recipe. These are fall-off-the-bone ribs. I reduced the spice, but that's all personal preference. The recipe is awesome! Read More
