Summer Grilling Season is HERE!
We love to cook outdoors, and one of my favorite foods to cook outside is baby back ribs. My husband has been cooking our ribs on the smoker for several years now, and it is by far the best way to cook ribs. They end up still tender, juicy and falling off the bone!
So my husband has a few tips for anyone who wants to cook some amazing baby back ribs!!
First- Do NOT boil your ribs! He likes to say, friends don’t let friends boil ribs 🙂
Next- Be sure to tear off the membrane that’s on the back of the ribs. This helps them fall of the bone and stay super tender.
Third- Use your favorite seasoning rub on it. We used the McCormick Sweet and Smoky Rub!
Lastly- Put them in the smoker for a couple of hours, or until internal temp reaches 150F. We used a rib rack that helped allow the smoky flavor saturate the ribs!
Our ribs turned out absolutely delicious!
