Remove the ribs from the package, pat them dry, remove the membrane from the bone side, and trim away any thick fat pockets or silver skin so the ribs cook evenly. 2. Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard across the ribs to act as a binder for the seasoning. 3. Apply Heath Riles BBQ Garlic Jalapeño Rub followed by Heath Riles BBQ Competition BBQ Rub, patting the seasoning into the meat and repeating the process on the other side. 4. Place the ribs on the Outlaw Patio Smoker and cook for about one hour to begin forming the bark. 5. Lightly spritz the ribs with a spray bottle to keep the surface moist, then continue cooking for another 30–45 minutes until the bark is set. 6. Lay out a double sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, sprinkle a little Heath Riles BBQ Honey Chipotle Rub into the foil, add apple juice mixed with Heath Riles BBQ Butter Bath & Wrap, and wrap the ribs tightly. 7. Return the wrapped ribs to the smoker and cook for another hour until the ribs become tender and the bones begin to push through the meat. 8. Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest in the foil for 30–60 minutes on sheet pans. 9. Mix together Heath Riles BBQ Competition BBQ Sauce, Heath Riles BBQ Sweet BBQ Sauce, and Heath Riles BBQ Apple Habanero Glaze to create the finishing sauce. 10. Brush the glaze onto the ribs using a basting brush, return them to the smoker for about 10 minutes so the glaze can set, and finish with a light dusting of Heath Riles BBQ Competition BBQ Rub.
