Welcome to G-Rod Grills; today we're making no wrap ribs using a Bradley smoker.

Start with a full spare rib, trimmed down to about 8-9 bones, removing excess fat.

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs using a paper towel for grip.

Apply a thin layer of yellow mustard over the ribs as a binder for the rub.

Coat the ribs with a finer homemade rub, ensuring to cover all sides and ends.

Apply a coarser party rub on top of the finer rub to help with bark formation, pressing it into the meat.

Let the seasoned ribs sit on the counter for 15-20 minutes while the smoker heats up.

Preheat the Bradley smoker to the desired temperature.

Place the ribs in the smoker, bone side down, and ensure they are tightly packed.

Smoke the ribs for about 4-5 hours, checking every 30-45 minutes for dryness.

After the first hour, spritz the ribs with a mixture of apple juice and apple cider vinegar to keep them moist.

Continue to monitor and spritz every 30-45 minutes as needed throughout the smoking process.

After about 3 hours, check the ribs for tenderness and spritz if they appear dry.

Once the ribs have a dark bark and are tender, remove them from the smoker.
