It's time for the ribs to hit the smoker in rib preparation step 11. There are lots of different types of meat smokers that can do a fine job of smoking spareribs, as are there many types of smoking woods you can try for a unique flavor.
This slab found a temporary home in my vertical electric water smoker. I used chunks of mulberry wood for the smoke (which we have a lot of growing around here in South Central Kansas). Mulberry gives the ribs a light, fruity taste.
I smoked the other slab using the gas grill smoking method. Hickory chunks provided the smoke here. I use a bread pan covered with foil as my smoker box in the gas grill. Ain't dat a purty picture?
