Pellet Grill Ribs
These tender and delicious ribs cook perfectly on the pellet grill. Enjoy them with your favorite barbeque sauce
Equipment
- 1 Pellet Grill Smoker *We use a Traeger
- 1 half sheet pan
- flavored pellets
Ingredients
- 1 rack Pork ribs side or baby back
- 4 Tbsp pork rub *homemade or store bought
- 1 cup barbeque sauce *for when the ribs are done
Instructions
- preheat your Pellet Grill to 225℉. Make sure to fill the hopper with your favorite pellets
- Pat your rack of ribs dry and remove the silver skin from the back (bone side) of the rib rack. Use a paper towel to help you grasp the membrane and pull along the length of the rack to remove.
- Generously season the ribs with 4 Tbsps of rib rub. Let them sit for 15 minutes to make sure the seasoning really sticks.
- Place the ribs directly on the grates of your pellet grill once the pellet grill has reached 225℉. Close the lid and let the ribs cook for 4-6 hours (a rack of baby backs will take less time than a rack of side ribs) depending on what kind of rib and how large the rack is.
- To test for doneness, pick up the ribs with tongs and if the bark breaks and the ribs almost split in half, they are cooked. You can use a meat thermometer if you prefer and look for a temperature between 198 and 203℉
- Once the ribs are done, brush them with your favorite barbeque sauce, then let them cook an additional 15 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
- Enjoy.
