1.
Preheat your smoker to 225°F.
2.
Mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and hot pepper flakes. Season both sides of the ribs with the mixture.
3.
Place the ribs in your smoker and toss a few oak wood chunks onto hot coals. Close the lid and cook for 6 hours at 225°F. Spray the ribs with apple cider vinegar every hour.
4.
In a large cast iron skillet, cook the bacon, onions and jalapenos in olive oil for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the salt, black pepper, tomato sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, molasses, Dijon mustard and the beer. Simmer for 5 minutes before adding the beans.
5.
After the beans have been added to your skillet, remove from heat and place in your smoker for 2 hours.
6.
Wrap your ribs in aluminum foil. Once the ribs have reached an internal temperature of 205°F, remove from your smoker and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before slicing.
