Instructions

First, set the Traeger to 250℉ close the lid, and preheat for 15 minutes.
Remove any membrane from the back of the ribs. Season both sides with Traeger pork and poultry rub.
Next, place the probe in the middle of the rack of ribs. Put the ribs bone-side down on the grid, close the lid, and cook for 3-4 hours until the internal temperature reaches 203℉. Add the cider, beer, or apple juice to a spray bottle, and spray the ribs after an hour and every hour thereafter.
Then brush both sides of the ribs with Traeger BBQ sauce, return to the grill, and cook for another 30-60 minutes until the sauce has set.
Cut each rack into individual ribs and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
