Steve's Bodacious Barbecue Ribs

In a medium bowl stir together paprika cayenne pepper garlic powder onion powder salt ground black pepper cumin brown sugar cinnamon cloves and nutmeg. Apply liberally to the ribs. Place ribs in a large roasting pan cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove ribs from the refrigerator 1 hour before smoking.

Prepare an outdoor smoker bringing the temperature to 200 to 225 degrees F (95 to 110 degrees C).

Smoke ribs for 6 to 8 hours adding wood chips to maintain a steady smoke (approximately one handful every 30 to 45 minutes). Ribs are done when crispy outside and tender inside. Remove from smoker and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
