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!!

Family Foodie says
I may need to get myself a smoker after seeing these ribs. They look so good! And the rub sounds amazing, as well!
Noshing with the Nolands says
I am a bit surprised that so many of you don’t have a smoker. It is not an expensive investment at all and oh so delicious.
Sarah | Curious Cuisiniere says
Beautiful! My hubby and I are looking into getting a smoker. It’s going to open up a whole new world of possibilities I think!

I’m loving all the smoker recipes this week! The ribs look amazing. I’m going to have to look in to a small electric smoker like you suggested.
Noshing with the Nolands says
They are not expensive and really easy to use. It is then not a whole day ordeal.
Bea says
Oh my, dry rubbed smoked ribs…these look amazing! Now we also need to get a smoker 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
Noshing with the Nolands says
They are so good and you don’t even need a BBQ sauce which I am so used to.
Hezzi-D says
That dry rub sounds incredible and I love me some smoked ribs! I do not have a smoker myself, but I really need to invest in one!
Noshing with the Nolands says
I think I should have shares in a smoker company. LOL Thanks so much for coming over!!
Chris Baccus says
Yes another smoker recipe!!! I love just a rub on ribs in a smoker. You really don’t need a sauce. What smoker do you have? I went with electric too, a cookshack. Love it.
Noshing with the Nolands says
Ken has a Bradley and enjoys his very much as we all do the results!!!
Amanda @ MarocMama says
I love mutually beneficial gifts – looks like this was a real winner! Would love to try this with beef ribs mmmm!
Noshing with the Nolands says
He hasn’t done beef ribs yet, I will have to nudge him in that direction!!
Cindys Recipes and Writings says
In smoked many, many ribs when I worked at Outback and I’d brine then dry rub and slow smoke. the best way!
Noshing with the Nolands says
We love out ribs here!! Thanks so much for coming over!!
Heather @girlichef says
I’m dying for a smoker. Seriously. It’s been on my wishlist for years, I guess I just need to give it a more prominent spot so that the hubs pays attention to it ;). These ribs look beyond fantastic, Tara!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks so much Heather, put the smoker at the top of your list. You will be thrilled with what you can do!!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
I want a smoker! I told my Husband yesterday we have to get one!! Your ribs look amazing!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks Jennifer, you can get one of the electric ones and they are small and inexpensive and easy to use.
Laura | Small Wallet, Big Appetite says
One day when we have a larger back garden, Chris wants to build a smoker. Then I too will be able to enjoy these delicious smoked ribs at home.
Noshing with the Nolands says
Don’t wait for that day, buy your self a small electric smoker. They aren’t that expensive and are only the size of a small bar fridge.
Jen @JuanitasCocina says
Can’t wait to break out my smoker! These look fabulous!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Hope you try them, they are great!!
