Directions

1. Season your ribs with kosher salt the night before cooking and leave uncovered in the fridge.



2. The next day, a few hours before you cook, make your infused honey. Add 2 tbsp dried chili peppers to the pod of your LEVO Infuser. Pour 1/2 cup honey into the reservoir (or just enough to submerge the chili).

3. Set the temperature on your LEVO to 105F and the timer to 2 hours, then press Infuse. When the machine finishes, carefully pour the infused honey into an airtight container and set it aside.



4. Meanwhile, preheat your smoker to 185F (or oven to 200F). Place your ribs on the grates, meat side up, and cook for 7-8 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Remove the ribs from the heat and set aside.

5. Increase the temperature of your smoker (or oven) to 350F. While it's heating up, add your infused honey to a small pot. Heat over medium heat until it simmers, then stir in apple cider vinegar to taste.



6. Place your ribs meat side down on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Using a silicon brush, carefully baste your ribs with the infused honey. Wrap the ribs generously with the foil, ensuring they’re airtight.



7. Once the heat reaches 350°F, return the ribs to the smoker (or oven) and cook for another 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature hits 205°F. When ready, remove the ribs from the grill, wrap them, and let them rest for 15 minutes before opening the foil and slicing. Serve with any additional sauce for dipping.

Recipe Note

💡 Pro Tip: Want to experiment with different flavors? Try infusing honey with alternative spices like Szechuan pepper for a unique twist. This Szechuan Pepper Bundle is a fantastic option for adding a numbing heat and floral aroma to your glaze.
