3-2-1 Camp Fire Ribs
Simple. Reliable. Hard to beat.
Prep
* Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
* Season generously with salt and Tacticalories Camp Fire Smoke Rub.
* Let sit while the Traeger comes up to 225°F.
Step 1: Smoke (3 Hours)
* Place ribs bone-side down.
* Smoke at 225°F for 3 hours.
Step 2: Wrap (2 Hours)
* Place ribs on a sheet of heavy-duty foil.
* Add:
* 2 parts apple cider vinegar
* 1 part water
* 3 tbsp maple syrup
* Wrap tightly and return to the smoker for 2 hours at 225°F.
Step 3: Finish (1 Hour)
* Remove ribs from the foil.
* Place back on the smoker for 1 hour to firm up the bark and finish the cook.
Rest
* Let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
The maple syrup adds just enough sweetness, while the apple cider vinegar helps tenderize the ribs and balance the smoke from the Tacticalories Camp Fire Smoke Rub.
Who’s firing up the smoker this weekend?
