2 different Racks of Smoked Ribs, cut in half on a cutting board.

The Easiest Smoked Ribs

Anyone that thinks you can’t smoke spare ribs on a gas grill, with excellent results, is retarded. I mean that literally, with offense, because I get the most ridiculous insults in my comments about it. All you need is a controlled, indirect heat source, smoke and a great recipe. The slow and low process takes care of the rest and, with a little finesse, no one will ever be able to tell the difference. I’ll prove it!

2 Recipes for Spare Ribs Ingredients:

2 to 3 tbsp Garam Masala Seasoning or Ground Cumin, each side
1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar, for spritzing

Wrapping Ingredients:
2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Brown Sugar
2 tbsp Butter

2nd Recipe: Blackened Seasoning Spare Ribs
2 tbsp Kosher Salt & Pepper, each side
2 tbsp Yellow Mustard, each side
2 to 3 tbsp Blackened Seasoning, each side
1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar, for spritzing

Wrapping Ingredients:
2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Brown Sugar
2 tbsp Butter

This kind of goes with out saying but, you’re going to need a gas grill that has enough space to run indirect heat under the ribs, a bowl of water and some wood chips or pellets to produce smoke. I use this smoke tube but you can shape a box of aluminum foil with poked holes instead, full of burning chips or pellets, and it will work just fine. You’re also going to need some Aluminum foil for wrapping, as well.

Season and cook the ribs, on low indirect heat, for 4 hours at 235° Fahrenheit.
Then wrap the ribs in Aluminum Foil, with the wrapping ingredients, and cook for
an additional 1 1/2 hours. Follow the instructions in the video tutorial for more
details and best results.
