My first time smoking ribs. Using a Masterbuilt electric smoker that I received as an anniversary gift from my employer, I chose this recipe basically because it was the very first one I found in my internet search and it had a five star rating. My expectations were low as I've only used the smoker a few times since getting it. To my surprise the ribs turned out perfectly and, although I'm definitely no connoisseur when it comes to ribs, I thought they were the best I've ever tasted. (Not bragging on my cooking abilities at all, I just followed the rub recipe to the letter.) The only deviation for mine was that I cooked a single slab that was 5 lbs vs the 4 lbs shown on the recipe. The rub recipe still yielded just enough to cover the entire slab front and back. The meat cooked for about 6 hours and 15 minutes as I had not preheated the smoker. I chose hickory wood chips, soaked them in water and added chips to the smoker 4 times in the first several hours. The meat came out juicy, tender and delicious with just the right amount of spiciness for my wife and I. The ribs I cooked were pork spare ribs from Kroger. I used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ Sauce that you can find at most any grocery store. My wife, who is not a fan of anything spicy and typically prefers the vinegar based, thin BBQ sauces thought the ribs were great as well as the Sweet Baby Ray's. I will definitely be cooking more of these ribs and highly recommend this recipe.
