Take note
Please note that smoking ribs can be a time-consuming process, so be sure to plan accordingly. Additionally, make sure to handle the hot grill or smoker with caution to avoid burns.

1

Prepare the Ribs

Start by removing the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the flavor penetrate the meat better. Then, season the ribs generously with your favorite dry rub, making sure to cover both sides.

2

Fire up the Smoker

Preheat your smoker to a temperature of 225°F (107°C). We recommend using a combination of charcoal and wood chips, such as hickory or mesquite, to achieve that perfect smoky flavor.

3

Add the Whiskey

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of your favorite smoky whiskey into a spray bottle. This will be used to spritz the ribs throughout the smoking process, adding an extra layer of flavor.

4

Smoke the Ribs

Place the seasoned ribs on the smoker grates, bone-side down. Close the lid and let the magic happen. Maintain a steady temperature of 225°F (107°C) and smoke the ribs for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones.

5

Spritz, Spritz, Spritz

Every hour, open the smoker and give the ribs a good spritz with the whiskey from the spray bottle. This will keep them moist and enhance that smoky whiskey flavor.

6

Glaze and Finish

About 30 minutes before the ribs are done, brush them with a glaze made from a mixture of your favorite barbecue sauce and a splash of whiskey. This will give them a beautiful caramelized finish.

7

Serve and Enjoy

Once the glaze has set and the ribs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the smoker. Let them rest for a few minutes, then slice them up and get ready to savor every delicious bite!
