Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Pat dry and rub with a mixture of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Make the Dr. Pepper Glaze: In a saucepan, combine Dr. Pepper, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened into a glaze.
Smoke the Ribs: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Add wood chips (hickory or applewood recommended) for smoke flavor.
Smoke Low and Slow: Place the ribs in the smoker and cook for about 3-4 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 195-203°F (90-95°C) and are tender.
Glaze the Ribs: During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the ribs with the Dr. Pepper glaze every 10 minutes to build up a sticky, flavorful coating.
Rest and Serve: Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
