Smoked St Louis Ribs

posted in: Pork 0

Is there anything better than a rack of Hickory Smoked St Louis Style Ribs?  I think not!!  Well, maybe a rack of Baby Backs or some succulent Pulled Pork Butt … but that’s for another day.

A few say that you don’t need to remove the membrane and trim the extra fat from a rack of ribs but I always advocate their removal.  It produces a better product.  Rubbed the St Louis Style ribs with Annie’s Roasted Garlic EVOO and applied Jans Dry Rub to both sides of the rack.

Preheated the MAK 2 Star Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker-Grill with Hickory wood BBQ pellets to 230ºF.  Smoked the ribs for at 230ºF for 5½ hours.

   

Removed ribs from MAK 2 Star after 5½ hours and sauced with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce.  Returned the glazed rack to the 230º MAK for another 30 minutes.
