These delicious Carolina-style spare ribs deliver a tangy flavor profile that will leave your guests begging for the recipe.

Directions

  1. Preheat the smoker to 225°F.

  2. Remove the silverskin layer from the back of your ribs.

  3. Rub both sides of ribs with yellow mustard as a binder, then apply a layer of Sun Valley Musty Dust, followed by Old Southern BBQ Rib Rub.

  4. Place ribs on your smoker, bone side down, and smoke for 3 hours at 225°F.

  5. Remove ribs and prepare to wrap them: On a sheet of aluminum foil, place a knob of butter every three inches, followed by a good sprinkle of Sun Valley Musty Dust and a healthy drizzle of Lane’s “Itsa Vinegar” Sauce. Place ribs bone side up onto the foil, laying the meat onto your butter / sauce / rub. Tightly fold the foil to create a seal.

  6. Return ribs to smoker bone side up (so the butter is on the bottom). Smoke an additional 2 hours at 225 °F for tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs.

  7. Flip the ribs over on your smoker and unwrap. Flip the ribs so they are meat-side up and baste with more Lane’s “Itsa Vinegar” Sauce. Smoke for an additional 30 minutes to an hour at 250 °F to allow the sauce to set.

  8. Once the sauce has caramelized, remove the ribs. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice, serve and enjoy!
