Steps:
- Preheat pellet smoker to 225 degrees fahrenheit.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, salt, pepper, minced onion, garlic powder, cayenne, and paprika. Whisk together.
- Place your ribs, with the bottom facing up, on your baking sheet. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
- Drizzle a bit of vegetable oil (around 2 tablespoons, but you don't have to be exact) on the back of the ribs and rub it all over.
- Sprinkle about ⅙ of the spice mixture on the back of each rack of ribs and rub it in thoroughly.
- Flip the ribs and repeat the oil and spice process, just divide the remaining seasoning mixture between the two racks
- Place your 8x8 pan of water to the back of your smoker and then place your racks of ribs in the smoker.
- Cook for 3 hours at 225 degrees, spraying every half an hour with the apple cider vinegar. Spray them just enough to make them shiny, you don't have to be exact here.
- Place foil on your baking sheet, making sure that the foil is about 5 inches longer than the ribs on each side.
- Place your ribs on the foil, generously squirt with apple cider vinegar, seal it tightly, and continue to bake at 225 degrees for 2 more hours.
- Remove the ribs from the foil, smother with BBQ sauce, and place them back in the smoker, without the foil, and smoke for 1 more hour. Enjoy!
- Add all the wet ingredients to a medium boiling pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients until smooth. You can also use a normal blender if you have one large enough, or do it in batches.
- Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and simmer for 30-45 minutes. The longer you simmer, the thicker it will get.

Steps:
- Make the ribs: Preheat oven to 275°. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and white pepper. Cut two 18-inch long pieces of foil from a standard aluminum foil pack. Place each rack of ribs on one of the pieces of foil and season all over with the spice mixture.
- Wrap the ribs in the foil, crimping the edges together to form a packet, and arrange the packets in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake the ribs until the meat is tender, a knife should easily pierce the meat, 2 to 2 ½ hours. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, make the BBQ sauce: On a cutting board, smash the garlic with ½ teaspoon salt until pureed. Scrape the garlic into a small saucepan and add all the remaining sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, until thickened and slightly darkened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Oil the grates. Carefully, remove the baked ribs from the foil, the liquid inside will be hot. Brush both sides with the BBQ sauce. Grill until sauce is bubbling and ribs are lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side, brushing with more sauce if desired. Serve hot with extra sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Cut the rib slabs in half, leaving 6 to 8 ribs per section. In a large roasting pan, arrange the ribs evenly, then add the water. Cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil to prevent steam from escaping. Bake for 3 hours.
- About 2 hours into the baking time, make the sauce. In a large saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients. Simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare the coals in a barbecue. Remove the ribs from the roasting pan. Discard the water.
- Cover the ribs with the sauce, saving about 1 1/2 cups of the sauce for later use at the table. Grill the ribs on the barbecue for about 5 minutes per side, or until slightly charred.
- Serve with the remaining sauce and lots of paper towels or moist towelettes.
- ***ALTERNATE SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS: Place the ribs in a slow cooker, pouring the sauce over. Let cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is very tender.
Tips:
- To make fall-off-the-bone ribs, cook them in the Instant Pot on high pressure for 20 minutes per pound.
- For a more tender rib, cook them for an additional 10 minutes per pound.
- Be sure to use a good quality BBQ sauce for the best flavor.
- If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can also cook these ribs in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 hours or until fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as baked beans, coleslaw, or mashed potatoes.
