Ingredients:
1 rack of baby back ribs
Dizzy Pigs Cow Lick spice
Parkay
Blues Hog BBQ Sauce
Pineapple Juice

Directions:
Rub the ribs down in Dizzy Pigs Cow Lick spice, both sides. Place ribs  on a rack with a drain pan underneath. Smoke low temp in a smoker! When ribs start to look a little dark, or 3 hour point, tear off a piece of foil to make a boat. Bone side up, spray with Parkay, half a can of pineapple juice per half rack. Seal up, smoke for about an hour or so. Then, remove from foil and put back on smoker unglazed for roughly 1 hour to reset the rub and dry the surface a bit. Then, glaze with Blue Hog!  Allow to cool, slice ribs and serve!

These were smoked using apple wood and sprinkled often while smoking them with apple juice! No BBQ sauce necessary!
