Instructions

In a food safe bowl, mix the salt, pepper, garlic, paprika and cinnamon.
Trim the pork ribs of any excess fat and carefully remove the membrane on the back of the ribs. Lather with dijon mustard and season thoroughly. Place in the fridge for 2 hours to set.
Preheat your Oklahoma Joe’s Highland Smoker for indirect cooking around 250F. Add some wood chips or wood chunks to the smoker for added flavor.
Add the ribs to the smoker on the indirect heat side. Cook for 3 hours. Every 30 minutes, spritz the ribs with the apple cider vinegar.
After 3 hours, pull your ribs off the smoker. Lay down a layer of aluminum foil with 3 tbsp of butter spaced out on the foil. Add some brown sugar and drizzled honey over the butter. Top the butter mixture with one of the pork ribs with the bone side facing up. Add more butter, honey and brown sugar on top of the rib. Carefully wrap in the foil until tight and secure. Repeat this step for all of the pork ribs.
Once done wrapping, add the ribs back to the smoker with bone side facing up. Cook for another 2 hours.
After 2 hours, unwrap the ribs and discard the foil. Place all the ribs back on the smoker and increase the heat to 375F.
Add a basting skillet over the coals or on the hot side of the smoker. Add all the ingredients for the Honey Teriyaki sauce and mix together thoroughly.
Glaze the outside of the ribs until completely covered with the Honey Teriyaki sauce. Continue to cook the ribs for another 30-60 minutes until they are caramelized on the outside but tender on the inside.
Once done, pull the ribs off and let rest for 3-5 minutes. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Slice and enjoy!
