  • Return the foiled ribs to the smoker, meat side down. Smoke for more than two hours.
  • Whisk together the Headwaters BBQ Boiling River Spicy Sauce and Cold Smoke
  • Remove the foil from the ribs and brush the ribs with Cold Smoke-Boiling River BBQ Sauce.
  • Return the ribs to the smoker, bone side down, and continue to smoke until the sauce tightens, about 45 minutes more.
  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving.
