Lee's Hickory Smoked (BBQ) Wet Brined Pork Ribs

This is definitely more of a process, than a recipe. I guarantee you no matter how you cook the ribs, you will definitely see a huge difference in taste, and in texture. Also works the same for chicken as well.

Ingredient

1/2 Cup

Regular Table Salt

1 Cup

Dark Brown Sugar

1 Tablespoon

Granulated Garlic Powder

1 Tablespoon

Granulated Onion Powder

(3-4 Pound Slab Saint Louis Style Pork Spareribs)

as Needed

Favorite BBQ Rub

as Needed

Yellow Prepared Mustard

12 Ounces

Your Favorite Beer

1 Cup

Of Apple Juice

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large plastic container. Wait 30 minutes or so for the salt and sugar to fully dissolve. Cut ribs in half if need be. Let marinate in the brine for 24 hours. At least overnight. Note: (I remove the thin membrane, of white skin on the bone side of the ribs.

* Step 2

After the marinating process is completed, remove from the brine. Fully dry ribs off with paper towels. Generously coat ribs with your favorite BBQ style rub spices. Do not add any additional salt. Whatever salt that your rub has in it, wil be fine. Then coat ribs with a generous amount of regular yellow prepared mustard.

* Step 3

Prepare your smoker or grill as you normally would. Placing the ribs bone side up, smoke ribs for 1 hour, maintaining a temperature between 250"-300". Flip racks of ribs over after 1 hour, then smoke another 30 minutes. (Add wood chips as needed.) I am not not trying to cook the ribs during the smoking process, just trying to create a nice smoke and outer bark on the ribs.

* Step 4

When finished smoking, remove ribs and place in a large covered pan. Add beer and apple juice in your pan. Cover and cook at 225 degrees for approximately 2-3 hours. Start checking on ribs at the 2 hour mark. They will be done when a fork easily pierces through the meat. Note: (The beer and apple juice will become a sauce for the ribs)

* Step 5

When done, remove from oven, and allow to rest for 1 hour. Remove ribs, and slice as preferred. Serve and enjoy. Note (Serve with all the pan drippings. Makes an excellent sauce.)
