I LOVE smoked pork ribs.

I don’t think I’m alone in this but there’s just something about gnawing that meat straight from the bone that’s so primal and feels so “cave man”. I’m a carnivore to my core and there’s just nothing more carnivorous than this.

I’ve done a lot of smoked pork ribs over the years but if I have to pick my best ones, here they are! Let me know in the comments below if you which one of these is YOUR favorite.
