Place the seasoned ribs on the second shelf of the smoker, ensuring they have space around them for smoke circulation.

Smoke the ribs for about three hours, checking for color and bark development.

Once the ribs have a nice bark and the bones have started to separate from the meat, apply a layer of Plowboys Sweet 180 barbecue sauce on top of the ribs.

Close the smoker lid and let the sauce tack up for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, check the flexibility of the ribs; if they are nice and flexible, remove them from the smoker and place them in a hot box or cooler to rest.
