Rack Ribs
favorite rub (I recommend Wild Willie's)
apple juice or cider/apple cider vinegar (2/4 juice 1/4 vinegar)
BBQ sauce (of your choice)

1.First remove ribs from package, drain and pat dry with paper towels.

2.Next you will want to remove the membrane on the backside of the ribs. This can be done by sliding the handle of a spoon under the membrane to loosen it up and get it started.

3.Once you have the membrane started. Grab a hold of it and pull firmly and gently. Until you have the membrane removed. If it breaks just start again until you have it removed. If you are not wearing rubber gloves; using a paper towel helps to provide better grip.

4.Now that you have the membrane removed it is time to apply your rub. Apply your rub to both sides of the ribs. I personally like a heavy even coating.

5.Cover your ribs with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to marinate either overnight or for 3-4 hours.

6.After the ribs have marinated bring them up to room temperature. This will help lessen the temperature drop when you put them in the Bradley, and speed up the heat recovery from the loss of heat when you opened the door to put the ribs in.

While your ribs are coming to room temperature preheat your smoker to 275 (note this is smoker dependent try there, if you think they are too well done for your liking next time drop by 10 or so degrees)

7.Once your smoker has come up to temperature and the smoke has started to roll, put the ribs in the smoker. I apply 2 hours of Apple; you can use the flavor of your choice. In the second hour, its good to spritz them with the apple juice/cider and vinegar mixture, if you dont have a spritzer you can mop some on (do it about every 15-30 minutes)

8.After 2 hours of smoke, Wrap your ribs in foil/butcher paper with a good splash of Apple Juice or cider and cider vinegar, and seal well (the liquid helps steam the ribs)

9.Return the rib packets to the smoker until a thermometer in the meatiest part hits 207 (should be 30-60 minutes). After the ribs have hit temp in the wrap. Remove them from the smoker and remove from the foil. Your ribs are just about done. Might even look done, but there is one more step. You have to sauce them.

10.After putting the sauce on the ribs place them back in the smoker or on a grill to let the bbq sauce set. Remove and let set at least 15 minutes.

11.Your ribs are now ready to cut up and enjoy!!
