If you're looking for one of the best Traeger recipes, look no further!

When it comes to backyard pitmasters, the ribs on their menu are the true test of their skills. You’ve got to be able to smoke ribs with multiple techniques, and this recipe blew me away with the results.

My tried and true, #1 ranked Google recipe for 275º ribs still holds the top spot for my go-to recipe, but recently I worked on this 2-2-1 concept. It is still very simple and consistent and produces a rib that holds its texture but is extremely juicy and delicious.

This method, a modified version of the famous Traeger 3-2-1 rib recipe, is a great way to produce mouth-watering smoked ribs that will leave everyone in awe. So, if you want to impress your guests with your pitmaster skills, try this Traeger 2-2-1 rib recipe the next time you’re firing up the pit.

Equipment:
• Traeger Timberline XL

Ingredients:
• 1 slab Baby Back Ribs
• ¼ cup Brown Sugar.
• 2-3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 2 tbsp Honey

Steps:
1. For this recipe I am running my Traeger Timberline XL at 225º with the Super Smoke function running for the first two hours.

2. Using a paper towel, grab a lose end of the translucent film on the underside of the ribs and in one motion, rip off the membrane and discard.

3. This recipe calls for a 1:1 ratio of Smoked Q Rock's Summer BBQ and Rock's Honey Chipotle. Apply a generous layer of Summer BBQ to the underside and edges of the ribs, followed by an equal amount of Honey Chipotle. Flip the ribs over and season the top in the same manner. Allow the seasoning to sit for about 10 minutes to allow it to fully penetrate the meat.

4. Now I place the ribs on the smoker for two hours, meat side up.

5. After two hours I prepare my wrap by adding ¼ brown sugar, 2-3 tbsp unsalted butter, and 2 tbsp honey as a base layer to my foil. Then I remove the ribs from the smoker and place meat side down, then wrap the foil tightly. I typically use a double layer of foil to ensure a tight seal.

6. Place the wrapped ribs meat side up back on the smoker for another 2 hours, still running at 225º.

7. After the 2 hours, remove the ribs and unwrap. The meat should be reading a temperature of 180-190º and the bones should be slightly pulled away from the meat. Then apply a heavy coat of Smoked Q Rock’s Irish Whiskey BBQ sauce to the meat side of the ribs and brush on with a nylon brush. Place the sauced ribs back on the smoker, still at 225º, for another hour (or less if you’re hungry).

8. After the sauce is set, remove the ribs and let them rest for 10-15 minutes. While they rest, pour out some BBQ sauce on your cutting board and spread to about the size of your rack of ribs. After resting, place meat side down on a sauced board and with a sharp knife, cut in between each bone to separate and serve to your guests.

Thanks for the video!! Great info !! I used to follow 3-2-1 Method religiously, bit now Im more closer to your 2-2-1 method. I go by the meat temp, cook to 165, then wrap until 200, sauce and 30 to 45 mins to glaze. Thanks!

Excellent. The only thing I can add to the comments already on board is to comment on how beautiful the ribs are colored. Everyone's face lit up when these hit the the table.

So 221 means 2 hours bone side down then 2 hours meat side down wrapped in foil. Then 1 hour with meat side down and sawced

Subscribed, so what is your favorite method for baby back? The 275F 2-1-30mins or the 225F 2-2-1? Oh and where did you get that sweet chopping block table?

Did you use any binder before seasoning?

Do you keep the super smoke function on throughout or just the first 2 hours ?

That seems very disrespectful to the US flag. About as bad as people kneeling during the National Anthem.
