Smoked Sweet tender ribs (with Jack Daniels!)

The perfect meal for game night! It goes well with beer, scotch, nachos, wings etc. The only problem is time, it takes a lot of time to make them. Setup is the key here, make the rub the day before. (if you don't already have some) marinate the ribs during the night and prepare the dripping sauce during the resting period.

Preparation: 30 min
Brining: Over night
Cooking: 4 hours
Resting: 30 min


Ingredients:
Moisturizer:

1. 1/4 cup mustard
2. 1/4 Jack Daniels
3. 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
4. 1tbs apple cider vinegar

Wrapping mixture

1. 1 cup brown sugar
2. 1 cup of honey
3. 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Other ingredients

1. Baby back ribs
2. cheapest cola you can find (enough for  marinating the ribs maybe 4 liters)
3. favorite pork rub.
4. apple wood chunks

  Instructions:

1. Brine the ribs during the night in the cola.
2. Pat dry until cooking time. keep the brine.
3. Apply the moisturizer and follow with the pork rub
4. Smoke meat side up for 2 hours in a Kamado (or other smoker) at 250 F indirect heat with a water pan filled with the brine.
5. Place ribs in tinfoil with the wrapping mixture and put them back in the smoker for 30 minutes on each side. (same temperature)
6. remove from the smoker and let it rest 30 minutes. use that time to make the BBQ sauce with the dripping (look my previous post for a recipe) and set the temperature of the smoker at 275F
7. remove from tinfoil, apply more rub and smoke for another 30 minutes.
8. Apply a generous coat of BBQ sauce on each side and smoke another 30 minutes.

Notes:
You can serve the ribs with a side of mashed potatoes with green onion cheddar cheese and real bacon bits or with some smoked potato skins.
