Instructions
- Fill hopper with desired SmokeFire pellet blend. For this recipe, cherry, apple, grillmaster or hickory would be recommended.
- Prepare the SmokeFire wood pellet grill for low heat heating (250°F).
- Place the Wet Smoke Kit foil pan half-filled with water on top of Flavorizer Bars under the grates.
- Engage the Weber Connect app to provide notification when the SmokeFire has reached temperature.
- Once up to temperature, brush grates clean.
- Peel the membrane from the back of the ribs if necessary.
- Place the ribs on a baking sheet with the back side of the ribs facing up. Rub the backside of the rack with 1 tsp of mustard. Then sprinkle with bbq spice.

- Place the ribs back into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to cool.
- Place the ribs on the SmokeFire and cook for 2 hours.

- Place 2 sheets of butcher paper, or aluminum foil on a flat surface. Add 2 tbsp apple juice, 1 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp bbq spice on the foil. Place the ribs bone-side up on top of the seasonings. Wrap the ribs leaving a small air gap.
- Return the ribs to the SmokeFire and cook for 1 hour more.
- After 1 hour, remove the ribs from the smoker, unwrap from the foil and place back on the grill.
