Lemon Pepper Rubbed Ribs in the Vertical Smoker

Lemon Pepper Smoked Ribs tastes awesome. They are sweet and peppery and have just the right amount of citrus flavor to make you come back for more. I'm smoking these on my Weekend Warrior BBQ Lone Star Grillz Offset Smoker today but you can smoke these on any kind of smoker. Just fire up your pit and get it preheated to 250 degrees F.
The Lemon Pepper seasoning is store bought.
The spritz for the ribs is made up of a simple syrup and lemon juice.
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of hot water
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Feel free to cut this recipe in half if you are only smoking a couple racks of ribs.
Smoke the ribs for three hours, wrap them in foil and continue cooking until they reach your desired level of tenderness.
After the first hour or so, start spritzing the ribs every 20 minutes to build up a nice layer of sweet lemon pepper flavor.
Once the ribs reach your desired level of tenderness, take them out of the foil and spritz them one final time.

Got some in the smoker now... Thought I was being original cause I never heard of Lemon Pepper Ribs... Maple Bourbon in as well

[@desertfox3860]

Thanks, good to see you doing a little longer presentation again.!

[@PedroLeon-uh3pe]

Thank you much!!! I just made this today. Even with my wife , who’s my biggest critic that it was amazing!!!!!

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it & thanks for letting me know.

[@billieglennbusch2189]

Man, I’ll take spareribs any day. Never thought to do them lemon 🍋 pepper style, I’ll keep it mind. I did some spareribs on my PitBoss, 4 hours low and slow ... clean off the bone and that big juicy meaty bite! Thanks for sharing.

[@daveh.1420]

I am making these tomorrow on my PitBoss pellet smoker. Cant wait to try them out. I really enjoy your videos as I find them very informative. Cheers, Dave Westman

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you, Dave. You will enjoy them. A member of my Facebook group just made them and loved them. He shared a pretty good tip, “Mike you inspired me with your lemon pepper video. SO I made some today. They came out fantastic. Cooked them on my SNS grill using Kosmos lemon pepper wing dust. Thank you for this one. One pro tip I might add is you will have plenty of lemon simple syrup left over. I suggest you fill a glass with ice throw in some gin and syrup with a splash of soda water and enjoy a Tom Collins with your meal.

[@johncollins500]

Looks good Mike. Seen you on Joes channel Ohio wood burners and subscribed to your channel. This is second vid I've watched and we are going to try some of your recipes. They really look good. Just wondering, could you substitute brown sugar for the granulated???

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

John, thank you very much for stopping by. Yes you can make a brown sugar simple syrup. It’s the same ratio 1:1 There will be a lot leftover so put it in the refrigerator and make yourself a brown sugar Manhattan... YuM

[@adamjohnson4306]

Out done yourself again point break. How did your neighbor like them?

[@WeekendWarriorBBQ]

Thank you, Adam. He loved them. I tried to get him to do a taste test on camera with me but he politely declined lol
