Ingredients
  

  • 3 racks of baby back ribs or loin ribs
  • ½ cup Pit Boss Rib Rub or your favorite dry rub
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • ½ cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Suckle Buster’s BBQ Rub

Instructions
 

  • Remove ribs from packaging and pat them dry. If the membrane is still on, peel it off for a more tender bite. Trim any excess fat (but don’t go overboard-fat adds flavor!).
  • Apply a generous layer of dry rub on both sides. Pat the seasoning into the meat (no binder needed!). Let the ribs rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours to absorb flavors.
  • Preheat your Pit Boss grill to the “Smoke” setting. Place the ribs on the grates bone-side down. Smoke for 30 minutes, then increase the temperature to 250°F.
  • Mix all mop sauce ingredients in a bowl. Every 45 minutes, baste the ribs using a mop brush to keep them moist.
  • After 4 hours, check for tenderness using a bend test: Pick up the ribs with tongs-if they bend and crack slightly, they’re done! Use a toothpick to test resistance; it should slide in with no effort.
  • Remove ribs and tent with foil for 15 minutes to lock in juices. Sprinkle a final coat of dry rub before slicing. Serve as-is or with sauce on the side-your call!
