Things you’ll need:

  • A high quality smoker. Cheap smokers don’t hold consistent temperatures, and that’s the most important variable in cooking ribs
  • Baby back ribs. In San Francisco, I’ve found Golden Gate Meat Company to be the best butcher around. Wherever you live, try to find the best meat source you can.
  • A box or bag of apple wood chips. Apple tastes better than hickory or mesquite, and you don’t have to worry as much about over-smoking your meat. I hear pecan wood is also good, but it’s not readily available in California, so I’ve had no experience with it.
  • Saran wrap
  • Toothpicks
  • A spray bottle
  • Apple juice
  • Charcoal. I prefer natural lump charcoal.
