Applewood-Smoked Baby Back Ribs

Two key steps—smoking and braising—produce fall-off-the-bone, tender, juicy ribs. The best part of this recipe is that a delicious barbecue sauce is made in the process. Add a couple chipotle peppers to the final step and blend them into the sauce for a kick of heat.
