Preheat smoker. Set your smoker to 275 degrees F and allow it to rise to temperature.
Trim ribs. While your smoker is preheating, remove the large segment of bones on top of the ribs, the thin flap and membrane on the back of the ribs, and the tail end of the ribs.

Season. Next, sprinkle your ribs generously with the Sugar & Spice Rub, then press gently with your gloved hand. Don’t try to spread or you’ll get clumping. Turn your ribs over and repeat the slather and seasoning.

Smoke. Place your ribs directly on the grates of your smoker, close the lid, and allow them to smoke for around 4 hours. You’re looking for an internal temperature of around 195 degrees F.
Sauce and finish. With your ribs on the smoker, coat them with the Spiced Citrus BBQ Glaze, then close the lid and continue to smoke for 1 hour, or until your ribs reach an internal temperature of 205 degrees F.
