Fall Off The Bone Ribs

When it comes to cooking ribs, I believe in creating a competition-style experience with a firm texture and satisfying bite. However, I also understand the importance of catering to people's preferences. That's why I aim to give people what they want and create the fall-off-the-bone experience they desire. Ultimately, it's about finding the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, and making people happy through the power of food.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • For this recipe, I'm cooking on my Traeger Ironwood 885 at 275ºF. This temperature allows me to get a great smoky flavor while still keeping the cook reasonably quick.
  • To begin I use a paper towel to remove the membrane off the underside of the ribs and then I trim them by shaping them into a rectangle removing excess fat and bone from both ends.  Next I apply yellow mustard as a binder, before applying a layer of my Smoked Q Rock’s Anytime, followed up by a layer of my Smoked Q Rock’s Summer BBQ Rub. After applying to the bottom, I flip them over and repeat on top
  • For the first portion of this cook, I smoke them for 2 hours at 275º unwrapped until the meat hits about 175º internal temp, spraying them each hour with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water using a spray bottle.
  • After two hours I remove them and wrap with butcher paper before placing back on the smoker for another 2 and a half hours at 275º.  
  • After checking that the bones are pulling away from the meat, I inserted a temperature probe that read 205º.  At that point I pulled them off the smoker, removed them from the butcher paper, and then applied a layer of sauce, before running them for another 15 minutes to set the sauce
  • After setting the sauce, the best test is to grab a hold of one of those bones and let it slide out!
