Cooking steps

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Ribs [00:00]

  • Start with 2 racks of pork back ribs. Pat them dry to make them easier to work with.

Step 2: Trim the Ribs [01:05]

  • Trim any excess pieces sticking out to prevent burning on the smoker.

Step 3: Remove the Membrane [01:37]

  • Remove the membrane from the ribs for better texture when cooking on a pellet cooker.

Step 4: Season the Ribs [02:26]

  • Season the bone side first with a combination of sweet barbecue rub and all-purpose rub. Let them sit for 45 minutes to absorb the seasoning.

Step 5: Preheat the Smoker [04:07]

  • Preheat the Weber sear wood to 275°F.

Step 6: Cook the Ribs [04:27]

  • Place the ribs directly on the grate and cook for 2.5 hours, basting with melted butter every hour.

Step 7: Wrap the Ribs [05:31]

  • After 2.5 hours, wrap the ribs in foil, adding more butter, sweet rub, brown sugar, and a tiny bit of cayenne pepper.

Step 8: Continue Cooking [06:54]

  • Place the wrapped ribs back on the smoker for another hour.

Step 9: Prepare the Barbecue Sauce [07:56]

  • In a saucepan, mix the barbecue sauce, honey, and more sweet barbecue rub. Warm it up to make it easier to spread.

Step 10: Apply the Sauce [08:46]

  • After an hour in the wrap, open the foil, flip the ribs meat side up, and brush on the warmed sauce. Close the lid and let it set for 10-15 minutes.

Step 11: Rest the Ribs [09:03]

  • Let the ribs rest uncovered for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 12: Serve and Enjoy [10:31]

  • Cut and serve the ribs, enjoying their tender and flavorful profile.
