  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  4. Prepare your smoker or grill for indirect cooking at 225°F (107°C) using wood chips for smoke.
  5. Place the ribs on the grill bone side down and smoke for 3 hours, maintaining a steady temperature.
  6. Mix apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce in a spray bottle and spritz the ribs every hour to keep them moist.
  7. After 3 hours, wrap the ribs in foil and return them to the smoker for another hour.
  8. Remove the foil and cook for an additional 30 minutes to set the glaze.
  9. Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
