Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). While the smoker warms up, soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during the smoking process.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar. Mix well to form a dry rub.
Pat the pork loin ribs dry with paper towels, then brush them lightly with olive oil to help the rub stick. Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat for maximum flavor.
Fill a small aluminum pan with apple cider vinegar and place it inside the smoker. This will create steam and keep the ribs moist while adding a bit of tangy flavor.
Place the prepared ribs into the smoker, bone-side down. Add the soaked hickory wood chips to the smoker or smoking box to begin the smoking process.
Smoke the ribs for 2 hours at 225°F (107°C). During this time, check every 30 minutes and add more wood chips as necessary to maintain consistent smoke.
After 2 hours, remove the ribs from the smoker and wrap them tightly in aluminum foil with 1 cup of apple juice poured over the ribs. This helps to tenderize them and infuses additional moisture.
Return the wrapped ribs to the smoker for another 1.5 hours. Maintain the temperature at 225°F (107°C).
Unwrap the ribs and return them to the smoker for 30 minutes, allowing the exterior to develop a slightly crispy bark.
Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This step allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender, flavorful ribs.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or potato salad.
