  • 1 rack spare ribs membrane removed
  • Headwaters BBQ Ringing Rock Rib Rub
  • Blind Beelzebub Rub
  • 1/2 cup of huckleberry habanero Jam
  • 1/3 cup wild honey
  • 1/2 cup Bitterroot Brewing Huckleberry Honey Blonde Ale
  • 1 cup huckleberry habanero BBQ Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Season both sides of the ribs generously with Headwaters BBQ Ringing Rock Rib Rub and Blind Beelzebub Rub.
  • Set smoker temperature to 180ºF. Smoke the ribs, meat-side up for 3 hours.
  • Remove the ribs from the smoker and wrap the ribs with heavy-duty aluminum foil while covering the ribs with the Huckleberry Honey blonde ale, huckleberry habanero Jam, and honey. Increase the temperature to 225ºF.
  • Return the foiled ribs to the grill, meat side down, and cook for another two hours.
  • Carefully remove the foil from the ribs – watch out for hot steam – and brush the ribs on both sides with the huckleberry habanero bbq sauce. Discard the foil.
  • Place the ribs directly on the grate, bone side down, and continue to grill until the sauce tightens about 30 minutes.
  • Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes and dig into a huckleberry explosion!
