Ingredients
- 4 pounds rib tips
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
- 4 tablespoons homemade BBQ seasoning
- BBQ sauce for serving
Spritz
- 1 cup apple juice
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup bourbon
- ¼ Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
Instructions
- Begin by preheating smoker to 250°F. If using a grill, configure for indirect cooking to achieve optimal results.
- Make spritz: Pour apple juice, apple cider vinegar, bourbon, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce into a clean spray bottle. Secure the top tightly and shake to combine the liquids. Set aside until later.
- In a small bowl, combine mustard and hot sauce, creating a binding mixture. Generously apply mixture onto rib tips, ensuring an even coating.
- Season rib tips with your preferred BBQ seasoning, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and granulated garlic to cover thoroughly.
- Allow seasoned rib tips to rest at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes or until seasoning visibly draws moisture from the meat, presenting a slightly moist appearance.
- Directly position rib tips onto the smoker and smoke for 3 hours. Every 30 minutes, spray rib tips with the Spritz liquid mixture and periodically flip to ensure uniform cooking.
- After 3 hours, carefully remove rib tips from smoker and spray again with spritz mixture.
- Transfer rib tips into a disposable aluminum foil pan, securely wrap them in foil, and position pan directly on smoker for an additional 1-hour cooking duration.
- Remove rib tips from smoker, cut them into 2-inch pieces, and serve alongside your white bread, pickles, and BBQ sauce.
