THE BEST FALL-OFF-THE-BONE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Start smoker on 225 degrees F. I used a Traeger Timberline 1300
• Trim all ribs of any excess fat.
• Remove membrane using a paper towel from back of rib rack (this allows more flavor throughout the ribs)
• Cover with light layer of mustard
• Sprinkle racks generously with rub on both sides
• Place ribs directly on smoker and smoke, spritzing with apple juice every 30 minutes, until internal temp reads 160 degrees F. I use my Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 for this step.
• Lay ribs upside down on foil
• Add brown sugar (LOTS!), butter, honey, apple juice and a dash of apple cider vinegar
• Double wrap in foil and place back in smoker and cook at 225 until internal temp reads 204 degrees F.
• Remove from foil (watch out for steam!) and if desired, sauce ribs generously and return to smoker for an additional 30 minutes or until sauce tightens.
• Slice between rib bones and serve

FALL OFF THE BONE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Clean ribs, trim any excess fat and remove membrane from back of ribs.
• In a medium bowl combine sugar, salt, ground pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Mix well.
• Coat each rack of rib top and bottom with dry rub mixture massaging in so it is evenly and well coated. Stack in a large foil roasting pan and cover with foil to let sit in fridge for at least 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 275 F and bake covered with foil for 3-4 hours or until ribs are tender and start to fall apart when prodded with a fork. Depending on the cut of the ribs it may take a little longer to get to this level of tenderness.
• When tender remove from oven. Preheat BBQ to medium heat.
• BBQ ribs a few minutes each side basting with Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce or your sauce of choice. Be careful not to let them sit for long because the sugar in the sauce may burn.
• Remove from barbecue and serve immediately.

FALL OFF THE BONE BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Mix Brown sugar with spices and set aside. Pre-heat oven to 275 degrees. Use a 2 piece broiler pan, the lower half filled with very hot water, then layer racks of rib on the top. Ribs can be left whole in racks and layered, I have done 6 at a time, they still come out great. Rub the brown sugar mixture liberally over each rack. Then using heavy duty tin foil, cover the pan so that no heat escapes. I usually double wrap the ribs. Set in oven for 3 hours and can be up to 5 hours. Remove foil carefully and cut ribs into a manageable length to grill them. If you try to grill the rack without making it smaller, some of the ribs will fall apart and the meat will literally fall off the bones! Brush with your favorite barbecue sauce, I like homemade or Sweet Baby Ray's brand. Grill over a very hot gas or charcoal rill for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with plenty of napkins. These ribs are amazing!

RIB RUB FOR FALL-OFF-THE-BONE RIBS

Steps:

• Combine white sugar, brown sugar, salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a container with a lid; shake until rub is evenly combined.
• Generously rub both sides of each rib rack with rub.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place 1 rack of ribs, meaty-side down, in the center of main grill rack; cook for 5 minutes; transfer to the far side of top grill rack, meaty-side up. Repeat process with remaining rib racks.
• Angle the rib racks on the top grill shelf so the meaty sides are facing out and they are stacked one in front of the other at an angle. Turn off heat directly below the ribs and turn other burner on low; close the grill lid and cook for 30 minutes.
• Flip ribs so the closest side to the flame is the furthest side and the meaty side is still facing forward and the rack that was in the front is now in the back. Continue to cook, flipping every 30 minutes, until outsides are crispy and meat is tender, about 5 hours. Slice into small chunks.

BEST FALL OFF THE BONE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Mix spices together and apply rub thoroughly over the three racks of ribs on individual large sheets of aluminum foil. Rub both sides of each rack and then tightly seal each rack within the foil. Put on a cookie sheet or two and bake in a preheated 225 degree over for 4 to 5 hours depending how fall of the bone you would like your ribs. When done cooking carefully drain the liquid from the ribs and if you are going to use the sauce you will want ot put them back in oven under a preheated broiler, with foil open for about ten minutes to dry the outside a little. This last procedure can also be done on an open barbeque without using foil. Carefully move ribs, as they will be very tender. SAUCE Put olive oil in heated saucepan add onions and saute over medium heat until soft, but do not brown. Add garlic and stir for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add rest of ingredients and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Taste and add lemon juice or more sugar to suit your taste if needed. If you are using the sauce, then you remove the ribs from the oven and glaze the top of the ribs with the sauce. Warm uncovered on grill or under broiler for 15 to 20 minutes.
