- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup BBQ dry rub
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar

- 1 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat dry with paper towels.
- Rub the ribs with yellow mustard to act as a binder, then generously apply the BBQ dry rub all over.
- Place ribs in the smoker and cook for 2 hours, spritzing with apple juice every 30 minutes.
- After 2 hours, wrap ribs tightly in foil with brown sugar, honey, and butter. Cook for another 2 hours.
- Carefully unwrap ribs, brush with BBQ sauce, and return to the smoker for an additional 30 minutes to set the glaze.
- Remove ribs, let them rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes

- Adjust the BBQ rub and sauce based on your preferred sweetness or spiciness level.
- Resting the ribs before slicing helps retain juices and flavor.
