Things you’ll need:

A high quality smoker. Cheap smokers don’t hold consistent temperatures, and that’s the most important variable in cooking ribs
Baby back ribs. In San Francisco, I’ve found Golden Gate Meat Company to be the best butcher around. Wherever you live, try to find the best meat source you can.
A box or bag of apple wood chips. Apple tastes better than hickory or mesquite, and you don’t have to worry as much about over-smoking your meat. I hear pecan wood is also good, but it’s not readily available in California, so I’ve had no experience with it.
Saran wrap
Toothpicks
A spray bottle
Apple juice
Charcoal. I prefer natural lump charcoal.
