Steps

1Preheat your smoker to 275°F.
2Season the pork riblets all over with the Big Poppa’s Sweet Money Seasoning and the Big Poppy's Sweet Money Hot Seasoning, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
3Place the seasoned riblets in the preheated smoker and smoke them until they are about 80% cooked (they should have an internal temperature of about 170ºF), about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
4Remove the partially cooked ribs from the smoker to a cutting board. Carefully cut them between the bones into rib nuggets. Place the nuggets in a foil pan.
5Scatter the butter pieces over the ribs, scatter on the brown sugar, and then drizzle on the honey and Granny’s BBQ Sauce evenly over the top. Finish with a dusting of Big Poppa’s Sweet Money Seasoning for an extra burst of flavor.
6Gently mix all the ingredients together in the foil pan to ensure the nuggets are evenly coated. Cover tightly with foil.
7Place the covered pan back in the smoker and cook until the nuggets are nice and tender (the internal temperature should be about 208°F), about 1 hour. (You could do this final cooking in a regular oven if you like, since the meat won't pick up any more smoke in the covered pan.)
8Once the nuggets are fully cooked and tender, remove them from the smoker. Transfer the nuggets to a platter, building them into a mound and brushing with additional Granny’s BBQ Sauce and a dusting of Big Poppa’s Sweet Money Hot Seasoning.
