Notes
Smoker method: Start by rubbing the ribs with mayonnaise and dry rub. Smoke the ribs meat-side up, uncovered, for 3 hours. Cover the ribs with foil and steam them for 2 hours. Finally, remove the foil and brush them with the marinade. Cook the ribs on the grill (lid on) at 225 degrees for 1 hour, applying the marinade every 10 to 15 minutes.
TO STORE: Let the ribs cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
TO FREEZE: Wrap the leftovers in foil, place them in a freezer bag, and freeze them for up to 6 months.
TO REHEAT: Place the ribs in an oven-safe pan, cover them with foil, and bake them at 250F until warm.
