Ingredients
- 5 lbs deboned pork butt sliced into 2" steaks and then sliced into 1.5" strips; about 8 country-style ribs
For the dry rub
- 3 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp sweet paprika
- 2 tsp black pepper coarsely ground
- 1 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp granulated onion or onion powder
- 3/4 tsp mustard powder
To finish off
- your favorite BBQ sauce to taste
Instructions
- Set up your smoker with a fairly thin layer of coals for direct heat smoking and preheat to about 275F - 300F at the grate level.
- Mix the ingredients for the dry rub.
- Apply the rub evenly on the meat strips about 30-60 minutes prior to smoking.
- Smoke over direct heat for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until the bark dark turns golden brown and the meat breaks under the pressure of the tongs, flipping every 45 minutes or so. The internal temp should be around 203F - 209F. If your smoker runs a little hotter than 275F-300F at the grate level, the ribs may cook faster so check on them regularly.
- If you'd like to glaze your country-style ribs with a BBQ sauce, do that once they are done. Glaze the ribs with the BBQ sauce and cook over direct heat for a few minutes per side or until the sauce sets. Be careful as it may burn when cooking over direct heat so keep a close eye on the ribs.
- Serve hot with your favorite side dish.
