Ingredients

  • 1 slab pork spareribs
  • 6 tbsp Rib Rub
  • 1 cup tomato paste
  • ½ cup molasses
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • Hickory chunks

Directions

  1. Season spareribs with rib rub.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Place chunks in smoker or charcoal grill set for indirect heat at 250°F (120°C).
  4. Combine liquid ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat.
  5. Reduce liquid by ⅓.
  6. Place spareribs into smoker or grill for 4–5 hours, basting occasionally with sauce.
  7. Brush remaining sauce on top of ribs and place on a medium-high grill until browned. The internal temperature of the ribs before removing from the grill needs to be at least 145°F (63°C).
  8. Let rest for 10 minutes, covered, and carve.
