My favorite is Historic BBQ.1/8 cup paprika, 2 tbsp salt, 2 tbsp dark brown sugar, 2 tbsp light brown sugar, 2 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp ground pepper, 2 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder
- Coat your ribs completely with the rub seasoning.2 lbs country style ribs
- Setup your Traeger to cook at 225 degrees and place ribs on grill. Cook until ribs are at 155 degrees – approx 3 hours. Spritz the ribs with apple juice every hour until they get up to temp.1 cup apple juice
- When the ribs hit 155, remove them from the Traeger, and use tongs to place each of them in a large roasting dish or disposable pan.
- Add a half cup of apple juice to the roaster, along with four pats of butter. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil, and return the ribs to your smoker.4 tbsp butter
- Then adjust the temp of your smoker to 275, and let ribs cook until meat temp is 190. It will take about 60 minutes for them to come up to temp.
- When they are all up to temp, remove the ribs from the roasting pan and place them back on the grill rack and return to the smoker.
- Brush each of the ribs with your favorite bbq sauce, and let them cook at 275 for about 15 min.1 cup barbecue sauce
- Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes – then (finally) enjoy!
Notes
What if I don't have a smoker? How would I make this on a regular grill?
You just need wood chips. Soak them in water for 30 minutes before starting the grill. One cup of wood chips will last for about 20 minutes. Keep adding chips to the grill throughout the process.
If you use a charcoal grill, light the coals, when the coals are ready, place them on one side of the grill. Place some of the wood chips on top of the coals. Place your food on the side without the coals to cook it with indirect heat.
