Ingredients

2–3 racks	Pork ribs (Baby Back or St. Louis Style)
	BBQ rub
	apple juice or apple cider vinegar
	BBQ sauce
optional:	honey, butter

Step 1
Remove the silver membrane from the back of the ribs. Generously coat each rack with your preferred BBQ rub, pressing it into the meat. Preheat your pellet grill to 110–120°C (230–250°F) for indirect cooking.
Step 2
Phase 1 – 3 Hours Place the ribs directly on the grill grate. Smoke with cherry, apple, or hickory wood pellets for a rich, fruity flavour. Optional: add a water pan to the grill to maintain moisture.
Step 3
Phase 2 – 2 Hours Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminium foil with a splash of apple juice and about 1 tablespoon of butter per rack. For extra sweetness, drizzle with honey before sealing. Return the wrapped ribs to the grill at the same temperature.
Step 4
Phase 3 – 1 Hour Unwrap the ribs and place them back on the grill. Brush generously with your favourite BBQ sauce. Cook for another hour, allowing the sauce to set and caramelise slightly.
Step 5
Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing into portions. Serve with dips and your favourite sides for the ultimate barbecue feast.
