A tip for removing the membrane is roll the ribs up tight with the membrane on the outside. This helps stretch the membrane to. Then grab the end and pull as you un roll the ribs. It works great.

So, I just smoked baby back ribs on my Traeger for the first time today. I bought some generic rubs at my local Kroger, and used all of your steps to make them. THEY WERE AMAZING!!!! The brown sugar, butter, honey, addition was out of this world and, I fed 6 people, 3 dogs, and zero complaints and didn't have anyone reach for BBQ sauce!! Thank you SO MUCH for your help!! You made me look like a hero!!! Best of luck and can't wait to try some of your other recipes/ideas!!!

Used these techniques and recommendations with a few swap outs of my own seasonings and these were the best ribs I’ve ever had in my life! Very first thing I’ve cooked on my Traeger and it was a complete success. Loved the tips about the visual cues versus the temps. Had I gone off temps alone, I feel like I would have overcooked it. Thanks again and this was VERY useful.

Just got my Traeger a couple of weeks ago. Have mostly used it for smoking jerky, and maybe a steak or two...and that has been fantastic! I've never tried to use a smoker for anything other than that. But today I decided to use the recipe you show in this video. I followed the steps just like you showed them....and the ribs turned out to be spectacular! I have much more confidence in using the Traeger now. I really wasn't sure what the deal was with the brown sugar, butter and some honey. But when we opend the tin foil it was like a revelation! You could smell the ribs, you could taste the syrupy goodness of the liquid in the bottom of the tin-foil. My family was extremely pleased with everything. Can't wait to see some of your other recipes! Really appreciate what you do for us rookies.

Followed the recipe today and compared Traeger Pork and Poultry vs Meat Church Honey Hog head to head. I stayed with the Hickory pellets, but I did drop the temp for a slower cook. Verdict: Both rubs were fantastic! The color of the Traeger ribs was real nice, but the favorite flavor from the group hands down was the Honey Hog. I also served it with the Dr.Pepper BBQ sauce from another video. Thanks for not only producing easy to follow and awesome videos, but also for the fantastic seasonings!

I followed this to a T and got excellent results. That said, I'm sure lower-slower cooking would work great. Here it is 2-12-2023, Superbowl Sunday and I just put 2 racks on the Traeger at 275°, it's on the 30+° outside here in the Rocky Mountains, so I'm not terribly concerned about it getting too hot. I also used peach paper instead of aluminum foil, gotta avoid alzheimers!

Amazing!! I'm brand new to smoking and this was only my 2nd time with the Traeger (my husband got this for me for Valentine's Day bc I had been eyeing it for over a year!) and I definitely nailed it with your help 💯💯. I made one small adjustment after the initial 2.5 hours at 275°, i DECREASED TO 250° for 1h 45m; the reason for this is bc when I pulled them off to wrap them, they were already starting to pull from the bone. End result -- the bones slipped right out of the meat, I had to hold and slice them very carefully; I would've preferred that "competition bite", but still, the flavor and consistency was incredible! Thank you!
