Trailblazer My First Smoke - Baby Back Ribs

[Simarti28]

First smoke on my RT-340 was a success! I used the 3-2-1 baby back recipe from Traeger’s website ? and they turned out great. Only change I made was different dry rub and bbq sauce, used what I had on hand.

I was impressed with how well the grill maintained temperature, recovery time was pretty quick too. I attached the temp chart showing the consistency while at 180F for 3 hours, it was also consistent while at 225F. Ambient temperature was 32F.

Those look good, for sure. I like the 3-2-1 method for ribs too. They always turn out great. I've had my 340 for a couple of weeks not and it's great. The temp is nice and consistent.

Those look excellent! I did beef ribs for the first time on my Stampede today. It took 10 hours but they were like buddah! These grills make it so easy to produce respectable BBQ, and this forum provides the know how. Good job.

I used Plow Boys Yardbird Rub on one slab and Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub on the rest. Before adding rub I brushed on a mixture of yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and apple juice. Smoked 3 hours at 180F, removed added warm honey brown sugar and more apple juice and wrapped in foil and cooked 2 more hours at 225F. Removed and unwrapped, brushed on bbq sauce and cooked another hour at 225F.

I'll sometimes cheat and put them in the oven for the 2 hours that they are wrapped. Saves on the pellets, or wood. Shhh, don't tell anyone.
