Step 1

Fill smoker with Traeger Signature Blend or favorite flavor of pellets and preheat the grill to 225° F.

Step 2

Brush room temperature beef ribs with avocado oil (or olive oil) and generously season with mesquite seasoning. To add a little spice, sprinkle with cayenne pepper.

Step 3

Spray ribs with pomegranate juice and place them bone side-down directly onto the grill. Smoke for 3 hours. Set a timer to spray the ribs once an hour.

Step 4

Remove ribs and place meaty-side down onto two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil. If the rack is sliced in half, prepare them in two packages. Divide leftover juice between both packages and crimp foil to seal. Smoke ribs for two hours at 225° F.

Step 5

Brush ribs liberally with bbq sauce and place on the grill, bone-side down. Smoke using super smoke, at 225° F for an additional hour.

Step 6

Rest ribs for 10 minutes or enjoy right away. Serve with Chipotle Smoked Mac and Cheese or Traeger Smoked Potatoes.
