Choose the Right Ribs: Opt for meaty baby back or spare ribs for a solid start.

Master the Rub: Use a bold, spicy dry rub to pack in the heat and flavor.

Perfect the Marinade: Add chili-infused oils or hot sauce to your marinade for extra kick.

Control the Smoke: Use wood like mesquite or hickory for a smoky, spicy depth.

Experiment with Sauces: Craft a fiery BBQ sauce with chipotle, habanero, or ghost peppers.

Low and Slow Cooking: Cook ribs at 225°F for hours to balance tenderness and spice.

Add Heat Layers: Incorporate spice at every step—rub, marinade, sauce, and glaze.

Finish with a Sear: Caramelize your spicy glaze over high heat for a flavorful crust.

Serve with a Challenge: Pair with cooling sides like ranch or coleslaw to balance the heat.
