COOK IT.
Marinate pork side ribs overnight in a large Ziploc bag. Combine ¼ cup of maple syrup with ingredients from cooking wine to ground cinnamon.
Preheat pellet smoker to 275°F, about 30 minutes, making sure the pellet hopper is full.
Combine the remaining ¼ cup of maple syrup with 2 tablespoons of hot water and set aside.
When the smoker is preheated, transfer marinated side ribs onto the grids and cook for an initial 2 hours, flipping occasionally.
At the 1 ½ hour mark, brush maple syrup and water mixture onto ribs with Broil King’s basting brush, a flipping and brushing every 10 minutes or so until the 2 hours have elapsed.
Wrap ribs in aluminum foil or transfer them into a Broil King rib roaster and cook for another 2 hours, until tender. Cook longer if you prefer American fall-off-the-bone tender.
As the ribs are cooking, whisk together ingredients for the peanut chili dipping sauce.
Transfer cooked ribs to a cutting board and slice into individual ribs. Transfer to a large serving plate and serve with peanut chili dipping sauce and some cold beers.
