Chef Jason Hill of http://www.CookingSessions.com shows how to make smoked pork spare ribs using the 321 method in this episode of “Chef Tips.”

This BBQ Pork Spare Ribs recipe takes 6 hours to cook on my Green Mountain pellet grill http://greenmountaingrills.com/. Plan on a full day to get the ultimate flavor from this BBQ pork ribs recipe.

I started with three racks of pork spare ribs. After applying a bit of olive oil and my BBQ Pork Dry Rub, we smoked them at 220 F on the pellet grill for 3 hours, flesh side up. Next, I removed them from the smoker and wrapped them in foil, pouring over a healthy dollop of jalapeno pepper jelly, a few dabs of butter, a sprinkling of sugar in the raw and 1/2 cup apple juice. I wrapped them well and put them back on the smoker for another 2 hours to steam. After 2 hours, I removed the foil, poured the BBQ pork marinade over the top, and then added another healthy dose of dry rub. Then it was back into the smoker for another hour. After 6 hours, they may have been the best BBQ pork ribs I’ve ever tasted!

    Hey, so can you clarify the heating part? What temperature shd it be at
    from when its popped in to when its taken out? 225? Also, is it advisable
    to marinate it overnight or for at least an hour? Thanks!

    Did you take that membrane off before you put the dry rub on?

    Great videos. Another way to do the sauce is to baste it as soon as you
    pull it out of the foil. 20 minutes later, do one final baste. You will
    achieve a tacky smoked flavor exterior that is to die for. Also, I have
    done with and without the membrane, and prefer without. With all of the
    spices and smoke going on, nobody can tell a flavor difference. But, it is
    much better when eating it without that membrane.

    Does that even taste like meat? I follow the k.i.s.s method. Keep it simple
    stupid. Like my steaks only salt n paper.

    Sunnysuzuki, 225 the entire process all 3 steps. I marinate mine overnight
    and I see a difference! Albeit after 3 hours not much changes. You can do
    these in the oven but skip first step, that’s for adding smoke flavor. I
    wrap in foil meat down and bake on center rack for about 2 to 3 hours @
    270. Open up, flip meat up add flavor and cook again for about another
    hour. Remove from foil and put on cookie sheet meat up, glaze with BBQ
    sauce and bake for another 10 to 30 mins. Hope this helps. Time varies
    according to size of ribs. After awhile you will learn to judge doneness by
    looks and feel. Cheers.
