Time 4h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons dried lemon peel
½ teaspoon ground apple pie spice
2 racks Smithfield® Extra Tender Pork Back Ribs, membrane removed
Vegetable oil
1 cup Handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained
¾ cup apple juice, in a spray bottle

Steps:

  • About one hour before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine sugar, salt, white pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, lemon peel and apple pie spice in small bowl; mix well. Coat both sides of ribs with a little vegetable oil and sprinkle with lemon pepper rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 230 to 250 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
  • Place the ribs, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours. If desired, spray both sides of ribs with apple juice. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
  • Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.

Time 5h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 organic lemons
2 tablespoons multi-colored peppercorns
¼ teaspoon dehydrated minced garlic
¼ teaspoon dehydrated onion flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash and dry the lemons. Peel away the zest from both lemons using a vegetable peeler, making sure not to get any of the pith. Spread out peels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the peels have curled up and dried, about 30 minutes. Turn off oven and allow lemon peels to cool inside turned off oven, propping the door open with a wooden spoon to allow moisture to escape, about 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely before proceeding to the next step.
  • Combine dried lemon peels and peppercorns in a food processor fitted with a blade. Blend until coarse. Add dehydrated garlic and onion. Blend until fine and thoroughly combined.
  • Remove and allow to rest for a few hours before using so flavors can meld.
