Lone Star Grillz “EASY Backyard Ribs”

Great barbecue doesn't have to be complicated. With just a few simple ingredients, your favorite BBQ rub, your favorite BBQ sauce, and the consistent wood-fired performance of the Lone Star Grillz El Fuego Trio, you can turn out tender, juicy ribs the whole family will love.

This recipe is designed for backyard cooks of any skill level. We'll season the ribs, smoke them low and slow until they develop beautiful color, wrap them with your favorite BBQ sauce to lock in moisture, then finish them uncovered to create a sticky, caramelized glaze. The result is flavorful, crowd-pleasing ribs that are easy enough for a weeknight and impressive enough for your next backyard barbecue.

Fire up the grill, keep it simple, and let's make some incredible ribs!

***Remember to always wash your hands prior to preparing. Use food grade gloves where appropriate to prevent contamination. 

Recipe and Ingredients: 

  • Baby Back Ribs (we made 3 racks)

  • Lone Star Grillz Texas Bold Rub (or your favorite rib rub)

  • Mustard

  • Your Favorite BBQ Sauce

DIRECTIONS:

ALWAYS START BY WASHING YOUR HANDS PRIOR TO PREPARING ANY FOOD FOR FOOD SAFETY.

  1. Unpackage and pat dry ribs on both sides.

  2. Trim any excess fat.

  3. Remove Membrane from back of ribs.

  4. Use Mustard as binder.

  5. Generously season ribs with rub on all sides and edges.

  6. Pre-heat El Fuego Trio in Pellet Mode to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.

  7. Once fully pre-heated, place ribs on pellet side, close lid and allow to cook.

  8. Approximately 3 hours later, check ribs for solid bark and bone pull back.  If both are present, it’s time to wrap.  If not, allow them to go a little longer until these are achieved.

  9. Place your favorite BBQ sauce onto some tin foil as shown in video, then place the ribs meat side down into the sauce on the foil. Add additional sauce to the back side, wrap tightly and place back onto the smoker meat side down.

  10. Allow them to cook for an additional hour or until they are tender (use a probe to test).  

  11. Unwrap, flip ribs back to right side up, give them another 30 minutes on the smoker with the foil off the top (uncovered, boat method as shown in video) to caramelize and firm bark up.

  12. Remove from the smoker, rest for 15-30 minutes.

  13. Slice, serve and enjoy!
