Traeger Baby Back Ribs Inspired by Franklin BBQ
INGREDIENTS
- 2 full rack of pork ribs
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar (120 ml)
- 2 cups your favorite BBQ sauce (480 ml; We used Franklin’s BBQ recipe from his cookbook)
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
- 4 Tbsp honey (divided)
- 4 Tbsp brown sugar (divided)
Dry Rub:
- 18 g coarse ground black pepper (16 Mesh)
- 9 g kosher/sea salt (I use Diamond Crystal; Use half for table salt) (Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
INSTRUCTIONS
- Gather all the ingredients and equipment you need.
To Prepare Dry Rub
- Add dry rub ingredients in a jar (18 g black pepper, 9 g kosher salt, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp garlic powder).
- Close the jar and shake well. I highly recommend this Maracasifter for sprinkling dry rub on ingredients evenly.
To Prepare Ribs
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by pulling it down with a paper towel (slippery!). We usually ask the butcher to do this when we purchase the ribs. If the meat is dry, add 1-2 Tbsp (15-30 ml) apple cider vinegar in a mister and spray the vinegar to wet the meat.
- Evenly sprinkle dry seasoning on meat including the edge, start with the bone side first. Let the meat rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
- After 45 min, pre-heat Traeger to 275 ºF (135 ºC).
- Create a metal cup with aluminum foil and pour 6 Tbsp (90 ml) apple cider vinegar inside.
- Once Traeger is at 275 ºF (135 ºC), place ribs meat side up along with the apple cider vinegar cup. Smoke for 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, make your favorite BBQ sauce at this time. We made a BBQ sauce using a recipe from Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto cookbook).
- After 2 hours, mist apple cider vinegar on ribs.
- Brush on BBQ sauce on the meat side.
- Smoke for 15 min.
- After 15 minutes, flip ribs over, mist on the meat.
- Brush the BBQ sauce on the ribs and smoke for 15 min.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 275 ºF (135 ºC). Prepare 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil for each rib (leaving plenty of room to wrap the ribs).
- For each rib, cut up 1 Tbsp of butter into 4 pieces and spread on aluminum foil. Drizzle 2 Tbsp honey, add 2 Tbsp brown sugar.
- Mist with apple cider vinegar and pour BBQ sauce on top. Make the same aluminum sheet with butter, honey, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and BBQ sauce for the second rib.
- Take out the ribs from the smoker and transfer to the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Lay the rib meat side down on the mixture.
- Spray the bone side with vinegar and brush BBQ sauce on.
- Carefully wrap the meat without puncturing the aluminum foil.
- Enclose the end of the aluminum foil so moisture can’t escape.
- Place the ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 2 hours.
- Take the ribs out and rest in the foil for 20 to 30 minutes. Enjoy the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce.
