Quite often with smoking, we insert the probe into the meat. If you have a meat probe thermometer (and if you don’t, definitely get one!), place it on one of the racks holding your ribs. I also try to put them on my smoker’s middle racks, just to make sure that they’re getting the best cooking temperatures possible. I prefer to have each rib cut on a different rack as this tends to produce better heat coverage. I tend to only fill it by one-third to a half way full. This will help keep moisture in the smoker, but be careful here because it is easy to overdo. Place your smoker water pan in the chamber.

You might have your own preference, but if you haven’t done this before then I recommend going with either hickory or pecan.Ĭheck out my full guide to the best wood for smoking ribs here. Prepare your smoker’s wood box, also called a smoker box, with your chosen wood. Most BBQ smoking involves a cooking temperature of 225☏ (107☌), and this method is no different.Įvery smoker is different, but allow your smoker 20-30 minutes to get a good even cooking temperature going. With your ribs having rested overnight, start up your smoker and bring it to temperature. Quite often we tend to cook right after applying a rub, but for electric smoking I prefer to allow these to sit overnight so that they can absorb as much flavor as possible.Įlectric smoking naturally doesn’t infuse meat with as much smoke as charcoal smoking, so it’s important to prepare your meat as best as possible to carry the flavors through. Once you’ve coated the ribs, put each cut in a ziploc bag and leave overnight in the refrigerator. Use your hands to firmly apply the rub to the ribs, and then flip them so you can apply the ribs to the other side. Now it’s time to apply the rub to the ribs.Ĭoat the top side of each piece of your ribs generously.
Shake until the ingredients look evenly combined. Put the lid on the container and shake as thoroughly as possible. Make sure any visible clumps are broken down. Mix the ingredients together in a plastic container with a spoon or fork, and try to combine them as well as possible.
Rubs are easy to make, and you can easily tweak them to suit your preferences. You can buy a store bought rib rub but I really recommend making it yourself.
Like with any form of smoking, we’re going to start with a good rib rub.
