Instructions

Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees F. Prepare the ribs while the smoker heats up.
Lift the corner of the membrane from the back of the ribs with a sharp knife. Use a paper towel to grip and pull the membrane off completely. Trim any excess fat as needed.
Season both sides of the ribs with Hey Grill Hey Rib Rub or your preferred rub.
Place the ribs on the smoker, close the lid, and smoke for 3 hours.
On a large work surface, lay out two sheets of heavy-duty foil. Add 2 Tablespoons of butter to each and sprinkle each with 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar.
Carefully remove the ribs from the smoker and place them meat side down onto the butter and brown sugar. Create a bowl with the foil edges to hold in the liquid. Pour peach nectar, whiskey, and remaining butter over the ribs.
Bring the long sides of the foil together and fold the ends tightly, sealing the ribs in the foil.
Return the foiled ribs to the smoker, close the lid, and continue smoking for another 2 hours, or until the ribs reach 195-200 degrees F.
Take the ribs out of the foil and place them back on the smoker, bone side down. Brush the meat with Whiskey Peach BBQ Sauce. Smoke for an additional 30-60 minutes until the sauce sets and the ribs are tender.
Let the ribs rest for around 15 minutes before slicing into individual pieces. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

Notes

For maximum flavor, let the ribs marinate for a few hours or overnight with the rub before smoking.
You can substitute the whiskey with apple juice for a non-alcoholic version.
Check the internal temperature of the ribs during the last hour to avoid overcooking.
