Smoked ribs

Cookinero 7 Apr 2025

If you can't go to the country or to the countryside, you can buy a stainless steel smokehouse, which is perfect for a city apartment. All the smoke will go through a special hose to the street, and the house will remain with the delicious smell of smoked pork. All that remains is to choose the right ribs with not too much fat, and otherwise the homemade recipe for smoking ribs is very simple and clear.

How to cook Smoked ribs

Step 1

Smoked ribs

Prepare the marinade. Pour water into a saucepan, add 2 tbsp. of salt and place on the stove. As soon as the water boils, add all the ingredients except the ribs. Let it boil for 5-7 minutes. Then pour the marinade over the meat, cover with a lid, pressing down with some weight on top. Put it in the refrigerator for 8 hours.

Smoked ribs

Smoke the ribs. When placing the meat in the smoker, make sure there is some free space between the pieces. Smoke the ribs for 1 hour at a temperature of 120 degrees. Then let them air out for another 40-60 minutes.

Classic pairings include coleslaw, cornbread, baked beans, or grilled vegetables. For a lighter option, try a crisp green salad or pickled vegetables.
