Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• this makes enough dry rub for three slabs of babyback rib
• 3 tablespoons black peppercorns
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, black
• 2 teaspoons canning salt
• 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• so juniper berries
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons peanut oil
• 3 tablespoons good quality balsamic vinegar

Recipe

• 1 a smoker temperature of 225 degrees fahrenheit is perfect for this rib recipe, but up to 240 is fine. for my taste, you just can't beat a combination of oak and hickory for smoking babybacks, but any wood that you're comfy with will be just fine.
• 2 this baby back ribs recipe smokes membrane side down for three to four hours. baste once with a peanut oil,balsamic vinegar mixture about an hour before they're done. try the pinch test for doneness. give the meat between two bones a squeeze with your thumb and forefinger. if it gives easily, it's time to chow down.
