- Take the membrane off the bones and trim the ribs. Afterwards, if the ribs are severely disproportioned, cut out any surplus fat and ensure that the ribs’ thickness is balanced out. Next, apply the dry rub on the ribs.
- Adjust the temperature on the pellet smoker to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Arrange the ribs inside the smoker and cook them for one hour once the temperature has reached the desired level.
- Examine the ribs for any dry areas after an hour, and spray the ribs again if necessary.
- Check the color for a beautiful rich mahogany quality and see if the rub can be scraped off using your finger (do this after the ribs have been on the smoker for about an hour and a half). Otherwise, now is the time to wrap the ribs.
- Wrap each rack in two layers of foil (ensure that the meaty side is facing down) with the wrap ingredients. Afterwards, return the ribs to the smoker for another hour.
- In a heatproof saucepan, combine the wet glaze ingredients and put the mixture in the smoker to get heated and thicken up.
- Check the ribs for tenderness using a probe after they have been kept in the wrapping for an hour; if the ribs are tender, take them out of the smoker
- To make a boat for each rib rack, roll up the foil’s edges. To expose the meat, turn both racks over.
- Allow one rack to crust up while the other is coated with the wet glaze that has been left to warm in the smoker.
- Return the ribs to the smoker for another 15 minutes. Take them out of the smoker after 15 minutes have elapsed, then slice into them and enjoy.
