Rub:

For the rub, you’ll need 3 cinnamon sticks, 60 ml (¼ c) each anise star, fennel, peppercorns and 90 ml (⅓ c) brown sugar.

Other:

2 Slabs of baby back ribs – approx. 1.25 to 1.5 kg (2 ½ to 3 lbs)

Preparation

The night before you plan on cooking the ribs, grind together the rub ingredients in a coffee mill or food processor and mix them with brown sugar.

Rub the ribs with the teriyaki sauce and coat with the rub.

Place ribs in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, remove the ribs from the refrigerator, pat down with any remaining rub and let stand for 25 to 30 minutes.

Transfer the ribs to the Bradley Smoker and using Apple flavour bisquettes, cook for about 4 hours.
