Stout Smoked Ribs with Easy DIY Smoker

Servings 4 -6 servings

Ingredients
  

DIY Smoker:

  • 2 cups smoker wood chips
  • 2 cups stout beer
  • Large baking sheet
  • Wire rack
  • Large disposable aluminum baking dish
  • Disposable grill pan make sure it fits into the baking dish

For the Ribs:

  • 3 lbs pork ribs
  • dry rub
  • Stout barbecue sauce recipe link above

Instructions
 

  • Add the wood chips to a large bowl. Cover with beer until completely covered. Wood chips will absorb beer, make sure they are fully covered at all times. Soak for 2 hours and up to 24.
  • Preheat a grill to the lowest setting (hopefully 250-350F).
  • Add the chips to the baking sheet in an even layer, add a few tablespoons of the smoking liquid. Cover with the wire rack.
  • Poke several holes in the sides (not the bottom) of the disposable baking dish. Put the grill pan on top of the baking dish.
  • Dry rub the ribs, place on top of the grill pan. Cover well with aluminum foil, making sure that there is no space for the smoke to escape.
  • Place the smoker on the grill, close the cover. Allow to cook until the meat is tender and falling off the bone, about 2 hours.
  • Remove from the grill, turn the grill on high. Brush the ribs with the Barbeque sauce, add the ribs directly to the grates, grilling for about 3 minutes per side.
  • Cut into individual ribs, serve immediately.

Notes

Depending on the size of your rib rack, you may need to construct two smokers.
