    Preparation Steps

    1

    Clean the pork ribs, then evenly rub them with coarse sea salt, black pepper, Hungarian sweet paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar. This dry rub enhances the natural flavor of the meat.

    2

    Let the seasoned ribs rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For the best results, marinate them overnight.

    3

    Preheat your smoker to 230°F (110°C). Distribute the charcoal or wood evenly in the smoker to ensure a long and consistent smoke.

    4

    Place the pork ribs in the smoker and smoke at a low temperature for 5-6 hours. Spritz with a little apple juice every hour to keep them juicy and flavorful.

    5

    To prepare the glaze, melt the butter in a small saucepan, then add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the honey and BBQ sauce, then simmer over low heat for 3-5 minutes, until the glaze has thickened.

    6

    Towards the end of the smoking time, during the last 30 minutes, brush the garlic glaze over the pork ribs and let it caramelize in the smoker.

    7

    When the meat reaches an internal temperature of 195-205°F (90-95°C), remove it from the smoker, wrap it in aluminum foil, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute evenly.

    8

    After resting, slice the pork ribs and serve with freshly made BBQ sauce or your favorite side dish.
