Ingredients

• 4 pounds Country-style pork ribs
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups Wood chips (for smoking, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C). If using wood chips for smoking, soak them in water for 30 minutes and place them in the smoker or a smoker box.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.

Step 3

Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels. Rub the ribs generously with olive oil to help the seasoning stick.

Step 4

Evenly coat the ribs with the prepared dry rub, making sure to cover all sides. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 5

Place the ribs on the grill or smoker. If smoking, add the soaked wood chips to create a steady stream of smoke.

Step 6

Cook the ribs low and slow at 225°F (107°C) for 3 hours, flipping them once halfway through the cooking process.

Step 7

After 3 hours, increase the temperature to 275°F (135°C). In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of barbecue sauce with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.

Step 8

Brush the ribs with the barbecue sauce mixture and continue cooking for another hour, basting every 15 minutes to build layers of flavor and achieve a caramelized glaze.

Step 9

Once the ribs reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C) and are tender, remove them from the smoker or grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the ribs hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side, and enjoy!
