We love smoked pork ribs! Any kind of pork ribs. Baby back, St Louis and Spare Ribs. Heck, even Country Style counts if you’re in a punch. They’re all delicious and don’t let anyone fool you — you can treat them all the same way. When done right, you don’t need a BBQ sauce. It’s perfectly fine to serve it with one, but put it on the side. The BBQ must stand out on its own.
This recipe uses a very basic rub but leaves out the sugar. There’s no need to add sugar. All the sweetness should come from your selection of wood. Most wood will work, but I like apple wood or cherry.
