Smoked St. Louis Style Ribs

Directions

1. Preheat your pellet grill to 250°F using your favorite pellets.

2. Remove the ribs from the package and blot any excess moisture with paper towels. Score the membrane on the back side of the ribs, or remove it if preferred.

3. Season both sides of the ribs, starting with the SPG seasoning followed by the Outlaw BBQ rub. You can use a binder like mustard or water if desired.

4. Place the ribs on the smoker and cook for 2.5-3 hours, spritzing with the apple juice and apple cider vinegar mixture after the first hour.

5. Lay out two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Sprinkle the brown sugar, add half a stick of butter (cut into pats), 3 squirts of the spritz mixture, and the BBQ sauce onto the foil.

6. Place the ribs meat-side down onto the prepared foil. Spritz the back side of the ribs and place a few more pats of butter on top. Wrap the foil tightly around the ribs.

7. Place the wrapped ribs back on the smoker and cook for 1 hour.

8. Remove the ribs from the smoker and carefully unwrap. Flip the ribs so the meat side is up, roll the foil edges up around the ribs, and place back on the smoker to let the sauce set and the ribs tack up.

9. Remove the ribs from the smoker once they reach your desired tenderness.

10. Slice and enjoy your smoked St. Louis style ribs!
