Instructions

1. Prep the Ribs: Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by loosening it with a butter knife and pulling it off in one piece.
2. Cut into Pieces: Slice the racks into single ribs with meat on one side.
3. Season: Generously coat all sides of the ribs with BBQ rub.
4. Smoke: Place ribs on the pellet grill at 275°F in a single layer. Smoke for about 90 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of at least 170°F.
5. Glaze: Transfer ribs to a metal pan. Add brown sugar, BBQ sauce, and butter. Using gloved hands, toss ribs until fully coated, then spread out in a single layer.
6. Finish Cooking: Cover pan with foil and return to the smoker for about 45 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches about 207°F.
7. Serve: Remove from the grill, uncover, and enjoy the sweet, sticky goodness.
