Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring an even coating

Wrap the seasoned ribs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for better flavor absorption

Preheat your smoker to 225F 107C using your choice of wood chips or chunks for smoke flavor

During the last 30 minutes, you can optionally brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce for a sticky glaze

Once done, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving
