Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees.
Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towel. Trim the ribs as needed.
Slather the ribs with molasses, this will be the binder to help the rub adhere.
Season the ribs on all sides generously with Blue Ribbon Rub. Let the ribs rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
