Time 4h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 racks Smithfield® Extra Tender Pork Back Ribs, membrane removed
Vegetable oil
¼ cup Chinese 5-spice powder
1 cup Handful hickory or apple wood chips for smoking, soaked in water and drained
½ cup lite soy sauce
¾ cup clover honey
3 tablespoons red jalapeno jelly
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • About one hour before smoking, coat both sides of ribs with a little vegetable oil and sprinkle with Chinese 5 spice. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 230 to 250 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
  • Place the ribs, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
  • Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine all ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Remove ribs from grill and unwrap. Place ribs over direct heat on grill and brush with honey red pepper glaze. Cook for about 5 minutes until the glaze is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more glaze.
