Calories 1116kcal
Ingredients
- 1 rack pork ribs
- 2 Tbsp rub seasoning I use Meat Church's Gospel All Purpose Rub
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 cup BBQ sauce I use Sweet Baby Ray's
Instructions
- Preheat the pellet smoker to 225 degrees. I like apple, hickory or oak pellets here.
- Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel. Trim down any excess fat and remove the thin membrane on the back of the ribs using a paper towel for grip.
- Season all sides of the pork ribs with the rub. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
- Create a bowl shape of heavy duty foil using another bowl to achieve the shape.Add the butter and cider to it. Place on your grill alongside the ribs.
- Place the seasoned ribs directly on the grill grates. Close the lid, and cook for an hour and 30 minutes without opening the lid.
- Baste the ribs liberally with the apple cider mixture. Close the lid and continue to cook for 3 ½ to 4 ½ hours, basting the ribs every 45 minutes with the cider mixture.
- When your ribs are almost done cooking at 185-190 degrees, put BBQ sauce on them and cook for 30 more minutes. This step is optional, but it's a good idea to do it. Remove the ribs from the grill. Allow them to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
