Directions

Preparation

Three days before cooking, thaw the bison back ribs in the refrigerator
Two days before cooking, remove the ribs from the packaging and pat them dry with paper towels.Generously apply the dry rub seasoning to the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Leave the seasoned ribs uncovered in the fridge for 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
One hour before smoking, take the ribs out of the refrigerator to allow them to come to room temperature
Preheat your smoker to 190°F (88°C).

Initial Smoking (4 hours)

Smoke the ribs uncovered on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper for the first 4 hours.

Wrapping (2 hours):

After the initial 4 hours, remove the ribs from the smoker. Wrap the ribs first in parchment paper and then in tin foil. This helps retain moisture and creates a fall-off-the-bone texture.
Return the wrapped ribs to the smoker.

Finishing (2 hours):

Increase the smoker temperature slightly to 220°F (104°C) for the remaining 2 hours.
After 2 hours, check the ribs for fork tenderness. They should be soft and easy to pull apart.If the ribs are not yet tender, continue smoking until they reach the desired texture.

Resting and Saucing:

Once the ribs are done, turn off the smoker but let the ribs rest for about 45 minutes.
While resting, prepare the homemade BBQ sauce by whisking all the sauce ingredients together in a saucepan over low heat until emulsified and slightly reduced, creating a sticky quality. After resting, drizzle the ribs with the homemade BBQ sauce and serve hot.
After resting, drizzle the ribs with the homemade BBQ sauce and serve hot, with plenty of napkins and your favorite side salads!
