With this recipe, baby back ribs are smoked to perfection, and you'll learn how long it takes to smoke ribs at 250 degrees. I like smoked, buttery, and crisp ribs on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, which stay on the bone. This recipe is a variation of the popular 2-2-1 technique for smoking baby back ribs.
Ingredients
- 3 rackss pork baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 0.25 cups barbecue sauce , such as KC Masterpiece Original
Instructions
-
1
Place 3 fist-sized chunks of wood in a smoker according to manufacturer's directions. Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C).
-
2
While wood burns down, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin in a bowl; apply to both sides ribs.
-
3
Once thin blue smoke appears, place ribs in the smoker, bone-sides down; smoke for 2 hours.
-
4
Reduce heat to 225 to 250 degrees F (107 to 121 degrees C). Wrap ribs lightly in aluminum foil to retain juices; continue smoking for 1 ½ hours more.
-
5
Remove foil; continue to smoke until meat is tender but still stays on the bone, about 1 hour more, brushing lightly with barbecue sauce in the last 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Slow Cooker Chicken Gumbo with Shrimp
This crockpot gumbo recipe is as easy as can be and practically makes itself. Just dump the chicken and vegetables in a slow cooker, toss in shrimp a few minutes before serving, and voilà! Dinner is served. When you use a slow cooker liner, there's virtually no cleanup to worry about afterward. Plus, with no roux to make and no pots to scrub, you'll have extra time to sit back and relax with your family.
