Cured And Smoked Pork Ribs
April 29, 2019
Ingredients
- 1 -3 Racks ribs
- 1 gallon water
- 4 ounces kosher salt
- 4 ounces sugar to 8 ounces
- 1 5/8 ounces Prague powder or Insta-cure
Directions
- Step 1 In the cure, I adjust the sugar depending on how much sugar is in the rub and finishing sauce I use that day. Mix cure ingredients in water and stir until dissolved.
- Step 2 Remove the membrane from the ribs, wash them well and then let them cure in refrigerator for about 18 hours.
- Step 3 You can then rub them if you like and let sit in refrigerator for another 2-12 hours. Remember the cure is going to add a lot of salt and some sweetness so I don’t use much of either in the rub.
- Step 4 Then I smoke them at 225F-250F until I can easily tear off a rib (about 3 hours).
