Ensure the ribs are properly trimmed and membrane-free for optimal flavor absorption.
Generously coat each rack of ribs with approximately 8 tablespoons of your chosen pork rub. Massage the rub into the meat, ensuring an even and flavorful coating.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 24 oz of wildflower honey or agave nectar, 2 cups of brown sugar, 2 oz of Tiger Sauce, and 1 cup of clarified butter or ghee. Stir the mixture until well combined and heated through.
Preheat your grill for indirect cooking at around 275-300°F (135-150°C).
Place the seasoned ribs on the grill away from direct heat. Allow them to smoke for about 2-3 hours.
Periodically spritz the ribs with apple juice to keep them moist and add a hint of fruity flavor.
After the initial smoking period, generously brush the ribs with the prepared sweet glaze. Ensure each rack is fully coated.
Allow the ribs to continue smoking for an additional 1-2 hours or until they reach your desired level of tenderness.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce. This adds a final layer of flavor and creates a delicious caramelized finish.
Once done, let the ribs rest for a few minutes. Slice between the bones and serve these succulent, flavorful ribs to delight your taste buds.
