HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

RIBS

  1. If your butcher has not already done so, remove the thin silverskin membrane from the bone-side of the ribs by working the tip of a butter knife or a paring knife underneath the membrane over a middle bone. Use paper towels to get a firm grip, then tear the membrane off.
  2. Mix all rub ingredients together for your seasoned rub. Rub the ribs generously on all sides. Arrange ribs on a large rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle half of rub over top. Turn over and sprinkle remaining rub over other side. Let sit at room temperature until grill is ready.
  3. When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Smoke the ribs, meat-side up, for 3 hours. Transfer the ribs to a rimmed baking sheet but leave the grill on. Set the temperature to 225F.
  4. Place ribs on grill and smoke for 2 hours. Remove from grill and wrap ribs in a double layer of foil. Pour apple juice into the foil pack over the ribs.
  5. Return ribs to the grill and cook for 2 more hours. Remove ribs from grill, remove from foil and brush with sauce of choice and cook for 15 to 20 minutes longer allowing sauce to set.
