Best 2 Pellet Grill Smoked Ribs Recipes
Fall off the bone tender ribs are a sought-after delicacy that can be intimidating to make at home. However, with the right tools and techniques, you can easily create melt-in-your-mouth smoked ribs in your own backyard using a pellet grill. This article provides three flavorful recipes for pellet grill smoked ribs that will tantalize your taste buds and impress your friends and family.
**Classic Smoked Ribs:** This timeless recipe yields tender and flavorful ribs with a perfect balance of smokiness, tang, and sweetness. A simple rub of brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder enhances the natural taste of the ribs, while a homemade barbecue sauce adds a rich and sticky glaze.
**Honey Garlic Ribs:** If you prefer a sweeter and more Asian-inspired flavor profile, these Honey Garlic Ribs are a must-try. A marinade of honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger infuses the ribs with delectable umami flavors, and a finishing glaze of honey and garlic creates a caramelized crust that's both sweet and savory.
**Chipotle BBQ Ribs:** For those who love a bold and spicy kick, the Chipotle BBQ Ribs are the perfect choice. A dry rub featuring chipotle powder, chili powder, and cumin adds a smoky and earthy heat to the ribs, while a homemade chipotle barbecue sauce brings the perfect balance of heat and tang.

Steps:
- 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 screwdriver underneath the membrane over a middle bone. Use paper towels to get a firm grip, then tear the membrane off.
- In a small bowl, combine the mustard, 1/4 cup of apple juice (reserve the rest) and the Worcestershire sauce. Spread the mixture thinly on both sides of the ribs and season with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub.
- When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. Smoke the ribs, meat-side up for 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160℉.
- After the ribs have smoked for 3 hours, transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet and increase the grill temperature to 225℉.
- Tear off four long sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Top with a rack of ribs and pull up the sides to keep the liquid enclosed. Sprinkle half the brown sugar on the rack, then top with half the honey and half the remaining apple juice. Use a bit more apple juice if you want more tender ribs. Lay another piece of foil on top and tightly crimp the edges so there is no leakage. Repeat with the remaining rack of ribs.
- Return the foiled ribs to the grill and cook for an additional 2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 205℉.
- Carefully remove the foil from the ribs and brush the ribs on both sides with Traeger 'Que Sauce. Discard the foil. Arrange the ribs directly on the grill grate and continue to grill until the sauce tightens, 30 to 60 minutes more.
- Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and peel the membrane from the back of each rack.
- Apply an even coat of Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub to the front, back and sides of the ribs. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
- When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke, if available.
- Insert the probe into the center of a rack of ribs, avoiding the bones. Place the ribs, bone-side down, directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke until the internal temperature reaches 201°F, about 4 1/2 hours. Add the apple juice to a spray bottle and spritz the ribs after 1 hour of cooking and every 45 minutes thereafter.
- Brush the ribs on both sides with a light layer of Traeger BBQ sauce. Continue cooking until the sauce sets, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the ribs from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes, then slice between the bones into individual ribs. Serve with more Traeger BBQ Sauce. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Look for baby back ribs or spare ribs with good marbling and a nice pink color.
- Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat.
- Season the ribs: Use a combination of your favorite spices and herbs to create a flavorful rub.
- Smoke the ribs: Cook the ribs on a pellet grill at a low temperature for several hours, until the meat is tender and fall-off-the-bone.
- Glaze the ribs: Brush the ribs with a glaze made from your favorite barbecue sauce or honey during the last hour of cooking.
- Let the ribs rest: Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before serving, so the juices can redistribute.
Conclusion:
Pellet grill smoked ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can create ribs that will impress your friends and family. So fire up your pellet grill and get smoking!
