Ingredients

3 lbs baby back ribs
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/2 cup honey
2 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions

Preheat the oven or smoker to 275°F (135°C).
Your first step is to slice baby back ribs into individual ribs.
Mix brown sugar, paprika, and salt, then rub over the ribs. Or use one of my rub seasonings. Sweet Red Dirt would be a great choice.
Place ribs on smoker and cook until ribs hit 180°F internal temperature.
Move ribs into a half steam pan. Add brown sugar, butter, honey, BBQ sauce, and mix.
Cook until ribs reach an internal temperature of 195-200°F.
