The first thing you will want to do is remove the membrane off the back of the ribs. Do this by sliding a butter knife under the membrane and over the bone. Lift and loosen the membrane, then grab it and pull it off.
Spread the yellow mustard over the ribs, making sure to get the sides as well. You will then cover them with a dry rub of your choice. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours.
When you are ready to smoke your ribs, preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F. We usually use apple wood chips. When the smoker is ready, remove the plastic wrap from the ribs and place bone side down on the smoker. Smoke for 3 hours
While those are smoking, mis 1/2 cup apple juice and 1/2 cup of water in a spray bottle. Spritz ribs with mixture every half hour.
After three hour, you are going to remove the ribs from the smoker and place on heavy duty aluminum foil. Mix 1/2 cup BBQ sauce and 1/2 cup apple juice together in small bowl. Then, pour it on top of the ribs and seal tightly. You will now smoke the ribs for two hours.
After two hours has passed, remove the ribs from the smoker and from the foil. Mix together BBQ sauce, honey and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Coat ribs with sauce and place back on the smoker for 1 hour.
