Julie's Smoker Smoked Pork Ribs

Cooking Ingredients:
2 racks of pork ribs
Garlic salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Mustard powder
Cumin
Red pepper flakes
Cayenne pepper
Paprika

Cooking Instructions:
Prepare the marinated ribs anywhere from the night before to a couple of hours before smoking depending on how much time you have. Cut each rack into half. Sprinkle the meat side of each quarter with all of the ingredients above until covered well. Start with the garlic salt and move down the ingredient list sprinkling liberally, except with the cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes. Add those to taste. With clean hands, massage the rub into the meat. Just leave the bone side alone. Put back into the fridge and let marinate.

Make sure to take the rib racks out of the fridge about 30 minutes prior to smoking so you can bring the temperature back down before cooking. Prepare your smoker with hickory chips and bring to 250 degrees F. Cook your ribs in the smoker (bone side on rack) without turning or opening the smoker door for four hours.
