Prepping Instructions

1. Flip the ribs over so the bones are facing up. Remove the flap meat and set aside for rib tip prep later. Remove the membrane and discard. Remove any access fat.
2. Apply coating of olive oil as the binder on both sides of the ribs.
   Tip: don't apply the olive or rubs on the sides of the ribs. This helps the exposed bones from getting burnt during the grilling/smoking process.
3. Using the Magic Pizza & Pasta and Italian Seasoning Blend, season both sides of the ribs. -Tip: seasoning the bottom of the ribs first will help prevent the top/meat side seasonings from being messy.
4. Ribs are now ready to be smoked.
