Fennel Rubbed Pork Ribs

Fennel Rubbed Pork Ribs
Serves 4

Ribs are so easy, don’t be intimated, they’re nearly impossible to screw up. Low and slow, baby.

4-lb. rack of baby back ribs
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
2 teaspoons cayenne
BBQ sauce, dealers choice

Combine all rub ingredients and slather over pork ribs. Rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes while you preheat the smoker.

Place ribs in smoker and smoke uncovered or wrapped in foil for about 2 hours.

Remove foil and place on the grate, basting with BBQ sauce for another hour.
