If you're getting antsy to use your smoker, here's a recipe that's easy and has a big payoff. Susie Bullock - founder of Hey Grill Hey, a website for all things smoker, BBQ and grill - surprised us by making spare ribs that only need two ingredients to stand out: Mustard, and a blend of spices. But before you slather, she recommends starting with a rack of pork, spare ribs that have more fat marbled into the meat, as opposed to the St. Louis style or baby back ribs that are a bit leaner. She said to follow her cook times so that your ribs are nice and tender but do not "fall off the bone" - which, in her opinion, means they are overcooked. So see her recipe below, and how you can attend her cooking classes for free as part of the Salt Lake Tribune Home and Garden Show presented by BioGrass.

LOW AND SLOW SPARE RIBS
Ingredients
- 1 rack spare ribsYellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons Signature Sweet Rub
- 2 teaspoons Signature Beef Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees F. Use your favorite hardwood. I recommend fruit, hickory, or apple woods.
- Trim your ribs. Remove the large segment of bones on top of the ribs, the thin flap and membrane on the back of the ribs, and the tail end of the ribs.
- Season your ribs. Slather it all with mustard. Then Sprinkle on your sweet seasoning, your beef seasoning, and then the black pepper. Cover the top, bottom, and all sides of the ribs.
- Smoke your ribs. No spritzing, no wrapping, no saucing, NO PEEKING! Get those ribs on your smoker and let them roll for at least 4 hours before you open the lid and start checking on your ribs. Once your ribs reach an internal temperature of 200-205 degrees F and are tender when you bend them, remove your ribs to a cutting board.
- Rest your ribs. Let your ribs rest on your cutting board for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
