Classic Smoked Ribs


  • Author: Alexa

Description

There’s nothing more iconic on a Traeger grill than a rack of smoked ribs. Coat them with a flavorful dry rub, slow-cook them for hours, and finish with a glaze of your favorite BBQ sauce. The result? Fall-off-the-bone perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 rack of baby back ribs
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
  • Rub yellow mustard all over the ribs to act as a binder.
  • Mix all dry seasonings and rub generously onto the ribs.
  • Preheat your Traeger to 225°F with hickory pellets.
  • Place ribs on the grill and smoke for 3 hours.
  • Wrap ribs in foil with brown sugar and a bit of BBQ sauce, then cook for another 2 hours.
  • Unwrap, coat with more BBQ sauce, and cook for 1 more hour.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Use hickory or applewood pellets for a rich, smoky flavor.
