• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your smoker to 250°F to ensure it's ready for slow cooking.
2. Carefully remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to allow the seasoning to penetrate better.
3. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, BBQ rub, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a flavorful coating.
4. Generously apply the seasoning mixture to all sides of the ribs, ensuring even coverage.
