How Do I Make Wood Pellet Pork BBQ Ribs?
Ribs:
- Preheat the wood pellet grill to 180 degrees.
- Remove the membrane that covers the underside or bone part of the ribs.
- Place a piece of foil onto a large baking sheet or cookie sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder and brown sugar.
- Rub the ribs with olive oil, then cover both sides of the ribs with seasonings.
- Place the ribs onto the wood pellet grill and cook for 2 1/2 – 3 hours.
Sauce:
- While the ribs are cooking, combine the BBQ sauce, salt, Cayenne pepper, garlic and Worcestershire sauce.
- Put sauce onto the ribs, (we usually just do the top), and increase the Traeger temperature to 225 degrees, cover with foil and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Let the ribs sit for 5-7 minutes, allowing the juices to moisten the meat.
Tips and Tricks for Wood Pellet Pork BBQ Ribs:
- After you put the sauce on the ribs, be sure to watch the ribs so that they do not over cook, or if you are not experienced with the wood pellet grill, put the ribs in the oven and broil them for 5 minutes on the second rack down to give them that amazing glazing and a crispier texture.
- Also you can use the Saint Louis ribs; they have just a little more meat on them and they are very good.
- Serve the ribs with easy baked beans and a nice baked potato.
- My husband calls these ribs the 3-2-1 method. Cook them for 3 hours, add the sauce and cook for 2 hours with the foil on, remove the foil and cook for an additional 1 hour without the foil for caramelizing.
- If you are in a hurry the last step can be done in the oven with the broiler for 5-7 minutes on the second from the top rack.

I am so tempted to get a pellet grill. We got one for my dad for Christmas and he loves it. This will definitely be on my list when I break down and get one.
You should get one. We love ours. I was able to get a pretty good deal where I work – nice to have a few perks! I love that my hubby does the cooking on the grill. These Ribs were fantastic!
