Dry Rubbed Smoked Back Ribs – #SundaySupper today is all about low and slow cooking. Ken is the mastermind behind the smoker and he made these wonderful ribs that you see here today.
I bought Ken a full day BBQ smoking course with Rockin’ Ronnie Shewchuk last year. It was a wonderful course that he surely loved and (hehe) I knew I would also benefit from.
Ken loves tinkering with his smoker trying many things from appetizers to veggies to meats, creating new and exciting recipes. This time though he stuck with perfection and used one of Ronnie’s recipes that he was shown in class.
A sure-fire winner for ribs. They are cooked for a long time and the result is tender, smoky ribs that are so full of flavor!!
I hope you enjoy them. Invest in a small electric smoker, they are cheap and easy to use and not a huge process. ENJOY!!

Oh, I want to get a smoker so badly! I don’t know what’s held me back this long. I LOVE ribs, too. I made them for #SS this week, but Blogger made me a deadbeat by not posting my post on time even though it was scheduled to 🙁 Oh well! I made mine with root beer:

🙁 Too bad you Blogger didn’t come through for you. I did see your ribs and they looked divine. Thanks for coming over!!

Perfect! The meat looks like it’s just falling off the bone. Ribs are a huge hit with my husband and his stepson – I’ll definitely be making these this summer. And thanks for the tip on the electric smoker. It sounds so much easier than other non-electric types. I saw the same recommendation on Chris Baccus’ #SundaySupper post – so maybe it’s time to invest in one 🙂

It is honestly so easy to use and the size of a bar fridge so it take up no room at all.
