**Masterbuilt Smoker Pork Ribs**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 racks of pork ribs
– 1 cup of your favorite BBQ rub
– 1 cup of apple cider vinegar
– 1 cup of water
– 1 cup of apple juice
– 1 cup of BBQ sauce
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Ribs:** Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. This can be done by sliding a knife under the membrane, lifting it slightly, then using a paper towel to grip and peel it off completely. Trim any excess fat from the ribs as well.
2. **Season the Ribs:** Rub the BBQ rub generously all over the racks of ribs, making sure to coat them evenly on both sides. Allow the ribs to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to let the flavors penetrate.
3. **Prepare the Smoker:** Meanwhile, preheat your Masterbuilt smoker to 225°F (107°C). Add apple wood chips to the wood chip tray for that perfect smoky flavor. Place a water pan inside the smoker to help maintain moisture during the cooking process.
4. **Smoke the Ribs:** Once the smoker is ready, place the racks of ribs on the smoker racks bone side down. Close the smoker and let the ribs smoke for about 4-5 hours, maintaining a steady temperature. You can baste the ribs occasionally with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water to keep them moist.
5. **Wrap the Ribs (Optional):** After the ribs have been smoking for about 3 hours, you can wrap them in foil to help retain moisture and tenderize the meat further. Before wrapping, you can brush a light layer of apple juice on the ribs for added flavor. Wrap tightly in foil and return the ribs to the smoker.
6. **Finish the Ribs:** After a total of 4-5 hours of smoking, unwrap the ribs and check for doneness. The meat should be tender and starting to pull away from the bone. At this point, you can glaze the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce and let them cook for another 20-30 minutes to set the sauce.
7. **Serve and Enjoy:** Once the ribs are done, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve your Masterbuilt Smoker Pork Ribs with extra BBQ sauce on the side and your favorite sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables for a delicious meal that will impress your family and friends.
