Step 1

When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 250℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

Step 2

If your butcher hasn't done so already, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat. Season the ribs on all sides with Traeger Pork & Poultry rub.

Step 3

Insert the probe into the middle of a rack of ribs, avoiding the bones. Arrange the ribs directly on the grill grates, bone-side down, close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 203°F, 3-4 hours. Add the apple juice to a spray bottle and spritz the ribs after 1 hour of cooking and every hour thereafter.

Step 4

Brush the ribs on both sides with the Traeger BBQ Sauce. Return the pork spare ribs to the grill and cook until the sauce has set, another 30-60 minutes.

Step 5

To serve, cut each slab in half or into individual ribs. Serve with more BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy!
