By á-47

Ingredients

• Baby Back Ribs
• Rub of choice (Trager Beef Rub)

Preparation

Step 1

Remove the tough membrane on the back of the ribs using a paper towel or pliers.

Sprinkle LIGHTLY with your rub of choice

When ready to cook, start the Traeger on Smoke with lid open (4-5 minutes). Arrange the racks of ribs on the grill grate, bone-side down. 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 225 degrees.

Tear off four long sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil. Top with a rack of ribs; pull up the sides to keep the liquid enclosed. Tightly crimp the edges so there's no leakage. Repeat with the remaining iacks of ribs.

Return the foiled ribs to the grill and cook for an additional 2 hours. Carefully remove the foil from the ribs - watch out for hot steam - and brush the ribs with BBQ sauce., Discard the foil. Arrange the ribs directly on the grill grate and continue to grill until the sauce "tightens", 30 minutes to 1 hour or more. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving.

When tender they will have pulled away from the ends of the bone about 1/2". You can also cut one off the end to test.
