What's this?
Simplify cooking ribs with Traeger’s Simple Smoked Ribs recipe. Start by smoking baby backs for 4 to 5 hours on your Super Smoke or Smoke setting. Then wrap the rack in foil and smother in BBQ sauce--that’s all you need to do for fall-off-the-bone perfection.

3 Rack baby back ribs
3/4 Cup Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub
3/4 Cup Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce
