Instructions:
1. Use a paper towel and pull membrane from back of ribs
2. Square up ribs by cutting off smaller edge (optional)
3. Sprinkle G2 BBQ Seasoning on the bone side of ribs
4. Flip ribs and cover meat side with G2 BBQ Seasoning
5. Let the seasoning “sweat in” for 10 minutes
6. Sprinkle meat side with light coat of Hurricane Rib Rub
7. Put ribs in smoker at 275 degrees for around 2 hours, or until the rub sets and you can not rub it off with your finger
8. Lay tinfoil down, cover middle with Big D’s Q BBQ sauce and Hurricane Rib Rub
9. Place ribs meat side down on tinfoil

16. Try not to eat an entire rack all by yourself, we dare you 🙂
Tips and Tricks
In the video I cut off the small end of the rack of ribs. This helps presentation and is used in competitions. If cooking at home, leave it on to feed more. Or, cut it off and cook it beside the larger rack. It will cook faster than the larger ribs.
