    EDDIE DEEN'S SMOKED PORK RIBS

    Smoking Time: 4 hours in a smoker

  • 4 racks of Kansas City-style pork ribs

    For the rub:

  • 1 Tbsp. of Kosher salt

  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar

  • 1 Tbsp. paprika

  • 1 tsp. crushed pepper

  • 1 tsp. ground mustard

  • 1 tsp. onion powder

  • 1 tsp. garlic powder

  • 1 tsp. corn starch

  • Marination:

  • 1 gallon water

  • 4 oz. salt

  • Prepare marination and marinate the ribs for 24 hours.

    Prepare rub in mixing bowl; take membrane off the back of the rib and season the ribs with the rub.

    Prepare the fire in the smoker.

    When the internal temperature in the smoker reaches 250 degrees, place ribs (meat side up) on the grill. Always allow fresh air to flow through the smoker during the cooking process.

    Maintain an internal temperature between 225-250 degrees. It is important not to cut off the air flow. Maintain the heat by the amount of wood. When adding more wood, allow the doors of the pit to be open to allow the wood to catch fire. AVOID black smoke. A clear smoke is necessary.

    After three hours, check to see if the rack is ready to come off the pit. They are ready when the meat has shrunk away from most of the bones by a quarter of an inch or more.

    When picking up the ribs with tongs, the rack should bend in the middle and the meat should tear easily. If the ribs are not ready, continue to cook. During the last couple of minutes of smoking, brush with Eddie Deen's Barbecue Sauce, available at EddieDeen.com. Wrap in foil for at least 20 minutes.
