Memphis Style Rib Recipe | Memphis Dry Rub Ribs Recipe
Memphis ribs are some of my favorite ribs. Memphis style Ribs are simple, dry, a little spicy and delicious.
To cook these dry rub ribs yourself, you don’t need to much… just some baby back ribs (in Memphis it’s all about the baby backs - or loin back ribs as they are also called), you need some hickory wood and a paprika-based dry rub.
Before you can start cooking your Memphis Dry Rub Ribs, you need to fist get your baby back ribs and wash them, remove the membrane and get them ready to smoke.
After your ribs are ready, you give them a good dose of a dry rub. You don’t need a binder like mustard or oil to make your rub stick because we are going to let this rub sit on your ribs for several hours.

After you get your baby back ribs rubbed really good on both sides, you will put them back in the fridge for about 3.5 hours. At the 3.5 hour mark, you will need to get your smoker fired up and pull your ribs out so they can come up to room temp. You always want to make sure your ribs - or any meat you smoke - is at room temp before you place it on the smoker.
I like to cook my Memphis style baby back ribs at 250 degrees. I use a charcoal base to provide my heat source and then I throw in a couple pieces of hickory wood to give me that light, blue smoke I’m shooting for.
Once your smoker has stabilized and your baby back ribs are up to temp, it’s time to put the ribs on the smoker. With this method we don’t wrap our ribs, but we do give them a baste - starting at the 1.5 hour mark and then every 45 minutes - 1 hour after that.
If you keep your heat stable, the smoking process on these Memphis Style dry ribs is really simple. It takes around 4.5 hours to get them perfectly tender where they have a great snap without being over-cooked.
Once your Memphis style ribs have reached the tenderness you are looking for, it’s time for one last step to make these smoked ribs truly a Memphis-Style Rib… You need to give them one last dusting of a paprika-based Memphis dry rub on top right before you serve them.
These Memphis style dry rub ribs are some of the best eating ribs around. You would be proud to serve them to your friends and family.
