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!!!

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.

It was my turn for Neighbor Sunday Dinner and I made these ribs and some smoked baked beans. They were the best ribs I have ever eaten, hands down! Didn’t even need sauce. I got 2 marriage proposals and a ‘that was the best f’n meal I’ve ever had.’ So I’d say it was a success! Thank you for the instructions that were on point! Perfection!

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.

Made them multiple times and they are the best ribs I’ve ever had! Now I just watch the video to get me motivated to make them again!

This was the second thing I made on my new Traeger tailgater, turned out amazing, switched the honey for real Canadian maple syrup, and used rubs i had at home. we were all in awe of how amazing they turned out, I even got a few "these are better than ribfest" comments. I am now a Traeger guy the hype is real.

Bought my first pellet grill (Z Grill) recently and my first cook were ribs following your instructions. They came out delicious! Thank you for training lol.

I’ve made these ribs five times now. Absolutely perfect ribs, thanks for the recipe!

[kennylakits]

Finally I made some ribs to be proud of last night. The best one I've made yet. Paying more attention to what the meat is telling you helped me alot. I've tried the 3-2-1 method and never had them come out anything but dry. This was a game changer! THX

I followed this recipe step by step and I cant believe how perfect they turned out
The Meat Chruch seasoning was super Good

Thanks for these videos. Just enough info without too much needless talking

My first time using a Traeger, I followed your instructions, OMG!! Incredible!!! Thank you.

I am a newbie Traeger user. I followed his recipe last week and the spare ribs turned out awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[wandabullerwell]

Have done these 3 times and today makes 4 on my Traeger and they are the Best ribs ever period!!!

Love watching Meat Church Matt! We always watch his videos before we open up the Traeger ❤

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!

[michaelstaats]

This is the best recipe I have done on my Traeger yet. Love your rubs already and the honey hog is definitely top 5 for me. Thanks for the great recipe Matt!

[ryanjackson]

Can't wait to cook these for mother's day. Your brisket recipe was amazing.

[Curlygaga]

The first and second time I made these, I didn't have the Honey Hog, still turned out good. Finally my Honey Hog and Honey Hog Hot arrived. My husband and I ate the entire rack. Can't wait to have friends over and WOW them. Thanks for the video.
