Ingredients
  

  • 4 Pounds Pork Spare Ribs, riblet sections
  • ½ Cup BBQ Rub
  • ½ Cup BBQ Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Season both sides of the riblet sections liberally with your favorite BBQ rub. Chicago style ribs are typically savory and smoky as opposed to sweet.
  • Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees.
  • Cook the riblets, bone side down, for about 2-2.5 hours or until the internal temp of the ribs is about 190-195 degrees. The meat should be beginning to pull back from the ends of the bones.
  • Sauce the top of the riblets and cook for another 30 minutes to set the sauce.
  • Remove the riblets to a cutting board and cut into individual bite sized ribs. Serve warm with additional sauce.
