Slow Smoked Baby Back Pork Ribs

Ingredients:

5 lbs baby back pork ribs
1/2 gallon apple juice
2 cups barbecue sauce
Hickory wood chips

Directions:
In a large pot place a good quantity of Hickory wood chips
or chunks and cover with water. Let soak at least 1 hour
before beginning your cooking.

1. Prepare charcoal in smoker, and bring
temperature to 225 degrees F.(110 degrees C.)

2. Cut ribs into small sections of 3 to 4 ribs and place in large pot. Pour in enough apple juice to cover.
Cover pot with lid and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and let stand 15 minutes.

3. Lightly oil grate on smoker. Place ribs on grate and throw a couple handfuls of wood chips onto the hot coals. Close the smoker.
Maintain the temperature at 225 degrees F. by adding more charcoal.
(add wood as needed).
Keep covered and smoke ribs for 7 hours, adding more wood to the coals occasionally as needed.

4. Make a sauce by mixing together the barbecue sauce
with 2 cups of apple juice from the pot. Baste ribs with sauce
while continuing to cook for another 30 minutes.
