Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lbs beef short ribs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • barbeque sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the wood chips and water pan for the smoker. Preheat the smoked to 225°F.
  • Combine the seasonings. Brush a layer of olive oil on all sides of the ribs. Spread the seasoning mixture on the ribs.
  • Transfer the ribs to the smoker, close the lid, and smoke for 3-4 hours. Then, spritz the ribs with water or apple cider vinegar every 30-45 minutes until they’re finished smoking.
  • Once the ribs reach about 145°F—usually between the 4-5-hour mark—wrap them in foil or butcher paper if desired.
  • Continue cooking for another 2-3 hours or until the ribs reach 190-205°F. If desired, brush barbecue sauce on the ribs and place them back in the smoker for 20-30 minutes.
  • Rest the ribs at room temperature, either still wrapped or loosely tented with foil, for 10-15 minutes before serving.
