Preparation

Step 1

Pour brine over ribs seal w/ Foil and brine for up to 24 hours but at least overnight.
Rotate ribs top to bottom at least once
Rinse in cool water and pat dry w/ paper towels
Lightly coat w/ Olive oil & Season w/ onion powder, garlic powder and Italian season (or bouquet garni)
Smoke in smoker for 6 plus hours at 200 degrees (after smoking this point you can refrigerate or freeze until you are ready to use)... If you don't have a smoker, you can cook in the oven on low heat (300) for 4 hours with beer in the bottom of the pan, covered with foil.
Cook on BBQ until just bubbly and lightly browned

You can put whatever BBQ sauce you like on the last bit on BBQ which keeps the sauce from burning
