-
Mix rub ingredients and store in air-tight container.
-
If using spare ribs, cut off chine bone to turn them into St. Louis cut.
-
Remove the membrane.
-
Rub on spice mixture, place ribs in a zipper plastic bag and allow to sit 24 hours in refrigerator.
-
Prepare smoker and get cooking section to 180-200F (82-93C).
-
Remove ribs from refrigerator and give them a rub with canola oil.
-
Give the ribs another sprinkle of the rub, but do not rub it in.
-
Place ribs in smoker and over the first hour gradually increase temperature to 240-250F (115-121C).
-
Each hour, turn ribs and give them a mop.
-
Ribs should be done in 4-5 hours.
-
They are done when the meat starts to pull away from the ends of the bones about 1/2 inch and they are limp when picked up in the middle.
-
About 15 minutes before the ribs are done, paint them on both sides with some warm honey.
-
Return the ribs to the smoker.
-
If Montreal Steak Seasoning is unavailable in your area, you can use the substitute in the mop.
-
NOTE: The rub is a modified version of one by David Klose.
-
I follow Danny Gaulden's advice and get racks of ribs with more fat. This makes the ribs really tender and juicy.
-
I do not trim off any fat before smoking. Trim off any excess external fat while slicing ribs for serving.
-
Garry Howard suggested the honey glaze. These ribs are a real team effort.
