These ribs are worthy of receiving a Blue Ribbon Award. Seasoned and smoked with Traeger Pork and poultry rub, then drenched in butter and brown sugar, wrapped, and finally grilled for that perfect smokey finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle of Traeger Sweet and Heat BBQ sauce
- 4 tablespoons agave
- 2 racks of St. Louis-style ribs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup Traeger pork and poultry rub
- 4 tablespoons ( 1/2 stick) butter
- Cherry pellets
Instructions
- First, using a knife, take the membrane off the back of the ribs. Then season both sides of the ribs with Traeger pork and poultry rub. Allow the ribs to rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Next, set the Traeger to 225℉ and preheat for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Use super smoke for a fantastic flavor.
- Put the ribs, bone-side down, on the grill and cook for 3 hours.
- In the meantime, mix the agave, butter, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Get two double-layered sheets of tin foil about the same size as the racks of ribs and spread half the mixture on each sheet.
- Remove the ribs after 3 hours and put each rack, meat side down, on the tin foil. Wrap it up tightly. Next, turn the temperature up to 250°F and put the wrapped ribs, meat-side down, on the grill. Place the probe into the center of the ribs. Grill for about 1 ½ – 2 hours until the internal temperature reaches 204°F with the lid closed.
- Finally, take the ribs off the grill and remove the tin foil. Put the ribs back on the grill grates and cook for another 10 minutes. Then brush both sides of the ribs with Traeger sweet and heat BBQ sauce, and cook for another 10 minutes with the lid closed. Remove from the grill, slice the ribs between the bones, serve, and enjoy.
