  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
  • 1/4 cup hot honey, or reg honey (but hot’s better)
  • 1 cup plain bbq sauce

  • Remove ribs from fridge about 30 minutes before cooking

  • Put on smoker for 2 hours, remove
  • Spray the center of a sheet of heavy duty foil (about 1 1/2 times longer than the ribs) with non stick spray, and spread out 4 tablespoons of butter the length of the ribs, then drizzle with the honey
  • Lay the ribs meat-side down on top of the butter/honey, and wrap tightly - repeat with 2nd rack
  • Put back on the smoker for 1 hour, remove from foil, brush with the bbq sauce below and put back on for about 30 minutes, or until approx 200-205 degrees
