Ingredients  

  • 1 rack pork ribs baby back or spare, membrane removed
  • 1 tbsp oil any neutral or avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • BBQ sauce for brushing

Instructions

  • First, preheat the Ninja Woodfire Grill to Smoke mode at 375°F (190°C), add pellets, and pat the ribs dry. Remove the membrane from the back of the rack.
  • Next, rub the rack all over with the oil, then coat both sides evenly with the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  • After that, flip and cook another 10 to 15 minutes, until the meat between the bones reaches about 195°F to 200°F.
  • Brush generously with BBQ sauce and cook 5 to 10 minutes more to caramelize the glaze.
  • Finally, rest the ribs for 5 minutes, then slice between the bones and serve.

Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate. For fall-apart ribs, cook to about 195°F to 200°F and use the bend test. Sweet fruit-wood pellets (apple, cherry) suit pork; hickory is bolder.
