These snacks are like chicken nuggets, but pork, and bone-in! A great appetizer for watching the game. Have your butcher cut a rack of ribs lengthwise across the bones into pork riblets about 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide and the length of the rack.
Place 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.
Remove 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.
Scatter 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.
Gently mix all the ingredients together in the foil pan to ensure the nuggets are evenly coated. Cover tightly with foil.
Place 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.)
Once 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.
