Honey BBQ Smoked Ribs

This is our last week of summer break so I decided to start it off by making a nice slab of ribs for dinner.  These ribs are easy to make in the smoker and taste very good.  I would normally choose to top them with Mike's BBQ sauce but today I decided to change things a bit and make a different variation on that BBQ sauce, Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce.

Ingredients
1 rack ribs
4 Tbsps. Memphis Dust Rub
1 Squeeze Bottle Parkay Margarine
Honey in squeezable bottle
½  cup Apple juice (in a spray bottle)

Directions
Remove membrane from ribs and dust with Memphis  dust rub and let it sit out and soak in while smoker heats to 225°.  Once temp stabilizes, smoke ribs for 3 hrs.  Spritz with apple juice mix hourly.  Remove ribs from smoker.

Prepare large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil and lay ribs on the foil.  Squeeze generous amount margarine on the first side, then squeeze 3-4 lines of honey onto ribs and then sprinkle 1 tablespoon dust rub.  Using gloved hands, rub mixture to combine and fully coat first side of ribs.  Turn ribs over and repeat this process. Wrap ribs tightly in the foil and return to smoker for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, remove the ribs from  foil.  Brush with BBQ sauce and place them back in the smoker. Cook ribs for another 30 minutes to 1 hour until done.
