Instructions

  1. Season the ribs the night before or a few hours ahead: trim excess fat and silver skin if needed, then pat dry.
  2. Wearing gloves, rub 3 Tbsp sriracha over the meat side of the racks, then rub the remaining 3 Tbsp over the bone side and along the edges.
  3. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt and 1 Tbsp 16-mesh ground black pepper over both sides and along the edges. Cover and refrigerate overnight or several hours.
  4. Preheat the smoker to 285°F (140°C). Place the racks in the center, close the lid and set a timer for 4½ hours. Do not open the smoker during this time.
  5. Fill a small spray bottle with 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar. Open the smoker, spray the ribs, and check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer. If it is not 200–205°F (93.3–96.1°C), close the smoker and keep cooking.
  6. Monitor closely over the next 30 minutes, watching the smaller rack, which cooks faster. Remove the racks once the internal temperature reaches 200–205°F (93.3–96.1°C), and rest the meat for 20 minutes.
