How To Smoke Ribs On A Wood Pellet Grill | Z Grill's Wood Pellet Grill | Best Rib Recipe!

- Today I am testing to see what rack of ribs I like best! We are cooking baby backs and some spare ribs on the Z Grills 700E wood pellet grill! This rib recipe is delicious! You will find this method used in most barbecue competitions and is a must-try for ribs! Even my guest Lionel Messi loved these ribs!
DIRECTIONS:
2-2-1 method
1. Prep your ribs. Remove the membrane which is a thick plastic-like skin over the boney part of the ribs. removing this allows the smoke to penetrate the meat better.
2. Apply seasoning. Rub the ribs with some peanut oil then apply an all-purpose seasoning blend as a base which consisted of salt, pepper, and garlic. Then hit them with a bbq rub. I used a Kansas city-style rub which you can find here: keviniscooking.com/wprm_print...
3. Place your ribs onto your smoker bone side down and smoke for 2 hours at 235F. Every 45-1hr sprints them with an apple cider vinegar water mix to maintain moisture.
4. After 2 hours remove ribs from the smoker. Place ribs on some tin foil and apply some honey butter and brown sugar to the top first. Flip ribs over and apply more honey butter and brown sugar. Wrap up the ribs with the tinfoil making sure not to puncture the foil. Return ribs to the grill meat side down. Smoke for another 2 hours at 235F.
5. Once 2hrs is over remove from smoker and check tenderness. When removing from the smoker your ribs should have a nice flex to them so be careful while transferring them. You want to see some good pull back on the bones. If you can pull and wiggle the bones and they seem loose but will not separate you are good to go. If you do not see this you may need to return to grill and cook for a little longer checking periodically.
6. Once tender, apply your favorite BBQ sauce. Remove the ribs from the tin foil and apply bbq sauce top to bottom. Return ribs to the smoker for 1hr. at 235F or until the bbq sauce has thickened up and become tacky.
7. Remove ribs from the smoker and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
8. Slice and enjoy!
Ribs didn't turn out quite right? Some adjustments can be made as far as time and temp goes. Barbecuing can be a bit of an experiment with each cook. If you do not like something change it next time! Bbq is a challenge and no setup will be the same. Enjoy the process but never give up! Adjustments can be made until you have perfected the art!

i don't even own a grill but there's something about you that makes me wanna keep watching your videos. keep doing what you do, you're awesome!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment :) I enjoy making and sharing the videos and seeing comments like this helps me to keep going!!
Hey Mr
Baum Grillin'z, your videos have really come a long way. Appreciate the effort you put into them. Very entertaining and I learn a new trick or two when I watch.
Thank you! I have learned a ton since I started and I really enjoy sharing! I’m not the best when it comes to barbecue and there are more knowledgeable barbecue channels out there, but I enjoy learning and sharing it in a fun enjoyable way!
This was a fun video thank you for putting your personality into it. I also appreciate the proper use of the wonderful z grill that you demonstrated and your focus on sanitation. thank you again for making this video it was awesome. I can't wait to start my baby back ribs!!!!!
Great video!! Thank you for all the tips and tricks man!
Your so very welcome!! Appreciate you watching!
Baum magician. Had to share with my wife the first vid where I first met the Chanel. Love it love it 😀
My god those ribs look amazing! Great video Kenny! Loving the content! Keep these awesome videos coming!
Thank you! They were very tasty ribs! I enjoyed every bite haha!
Just made some ribs inspired on yours. Thanks sharing your way👍👍
Glad I could help!
I love Famous Dave's pork rub!!! Had no idea about thier BBQ sauce 😋
Nice video. I just purchased a Z grill like yours and have some ribs smoking right now. I used your video for a quick brush up on my plan for today.
Awesome! I enjoy my Z grill! It’s a great pellet grill! Glad I could help in some way!
Just used my 700 model z grill for the first time yesterday on a brisket and it smoked it flawlessly!
Sounds delicious!! I enjoy mine as well!
I just got it but I really do love it I was very impressed on how easy it was to put it together and how it maintains the heat however the temperature outside is in its 50's in Portland Oregon the test will be this next winter? But it's no punk it's actually heavy duty metal no complaints and I'm pleased that I don't need to go get wood for my offset smoker and my electric smoker is going into the trash lol.
What a cool video bro! Informative, intertaining, funny. Great job! Love it.
Appreciate it! So glad you enjoyed it!
So just to clarify, after you put the BBQ sauce in the 3rd step, you cook for another hour? All steps at 235 degrees? 2-2-1 method? Cheers! Freaking amazing video .
That is correct! I found it to be a great method for ribs. Turned out fantastic! Wish I had some to eat right now lol
@@BaumGrillinzBBQ bro thanks for the time! It means you care! Much success and blessings to you and your loved ones!
Another good entertaining video , I also give the edge to baby backs .
It was a tough decision.. I really did enjoy both of them!
I just have to say, those are without a doubt the most beautiful ribs I have ever seen. They could be in a photo shoot in a magazine on on food network.
Pro Tip!: yellow mustard is a much better bonding agent than oil!
John Osborne I use Yellow Mustard also. It works so damn well for pork butts. I’ve never used oil but I agree with mustard
Honey work great
Great Video, used a different dry rub and bbq sauce but followed your way and these were amazing, the honey butter and brown sugar 👌
Thanks for the great video man! Excited to get my z grill in the mail this weekend :)
Woohoo! You will enjoy cooking with it! Any idea what you will cook first?
Baum Grillin'z was actually deciding between spare ribs or baby backs haha so looks like going with the baby backs first!
Oh ya! That’s gonna be some good eating!! I’m excited for you!
Baum Grillin'z thanks for the inspiration brotha!
You bet! More to come!
Great video. My wife prefers the baby backs.. I like both. Keep smoking!
Thank you! I have no problem eating both either! Put a rack in front of me and I’ll be happy!
I prefer baby backs but I’m gonna try spares next time. Thanks for the video. RT
Gotta give them a try! Appreciate you watching 👍
Un autre beau vidéo.... Bravo encore une fois... Je préfère aussi les babybacks
Merci beaucoup! C'était une décision difficile. Ils avaient tous deux si bon goût! J'espère que vous passez une journée merveilleuse!
Good video. I have a Pitboss pellet grill. Just searching for different recipes. I personally cook for 3 hours on smoke...185-200. Then wrap for 2 hours with butter on the meat side covered with apple juice, then back on with sauce for how ever long it takes. There are a million ways to make ribs, and everyone does it different. That’s what I like. Yours looked fantastic !!!!
Thank you so much! There definitely is a ton of different ways to make them which is amazing! Appreciate the great comment! Thanks for watching!!!!! 😊
Now that I’ve got my BRAND NEW Z-Grill I’m going to do the 3hrs @ 200° or as we say in Texas [LOW’N’SLOW]😉
Lee
Great video, informative and entertaining. Bought the same grill yesterday definitely like the convenience factor. Cooked up some chicken to test it out, pretty even cooking. Today I’m doing chuck roast, 2 hours on smoke setting, then on to 225.
That’s exciting! Sounds like you will be putting it to good use! A smoked chuck roast sounds good! What do you plan on seasoning it with? Anything special? Thank you for the comment!
I used a rub from my local supermarket that was 50% off jakes grilling beef rub,used it the other week using my Webber kettle, tasted great with some bbq sauce applied near the end, strange to me is it has coffee in it, stranger is it was fantastic.
Oh that sounds good! I have a rub that has coffee in it and it’s one of my favorites! Tastes great on a steak. Which reminds me, I need to grill one up today lol
Good chefing ! Going to get a Z grill made up my mind !!
You will enjoy it!!! Thanks for watching!
I have had my Z Grill for about 6-8 months now and love it. I think by now you have yours and I hope you are enjoying it as well.
Your a funny dude. I like the back ribs because they don’t take as long to cook and the meat is thick enough to inject if you want too. Nice Video.
I’ll have to try to inject them next time! Never tried that!
Yeahhhhhhhh! Love that Bell notification!
Thanks for turning it on!!! I appreciate it!
hi. looks amazing. I wonder that what is the timing after BBQ sauge ? tried to find out from video but couldn't :D
Thanks mate. Enjoyed this one more than others. I don't recall you mentioning how long it went at 235 the third time with the sauce on it. I'll guess an hour?
Nice video, how long takes the last unwrapped part with the sauce on it??
So when cooking things such as brisket and beef jerky, for when I'm wanting to smoke it does it naturally do that as it's cooking or should I leave it on the smoke setting for the first hour or so of cooking to smoke the meat?
I had the same smoker and I was just curious what your total cooking time was?
That Messi bit had me dying
🤣😂
Lol.. I wasn't expecting this.. 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 great video ..
Haha I get a little creative sometimes! 😂
@@BaumGrillinzBBQ thats your signature... comical/cooker
Exactly haha
For the last 30 minutes after applying bbq sauce did you keep grill temp set at 225?
I used to know famous Dave. He was an odd guy. Liked the jazz cabbage if you know what I mean.
Great video for a beginner, like me, to follow. How do you make the honey butter in the video? Thanks!
Thanks!! I just melted the butter and added honey to it. You can add as much or a little as you want, depending on your preferences!
Spare ribs!!!
Oh ya! It’s hard to choose which one is best.. no mater what I’ll never turn down a plate of ribs! Baby back or spares I’ll eat them all! Haha
Are the zgrills worth buying I just bought a one I had a pit bosses and had to many problems and I don’t want to spend a lot of money on a Trager. So zgrills produce smoke and smoke flavor. I know even tragers produce smoke but not a lot of smoke flavor
Messiiii!!!!
Hahahaha!!!! I had fun with this lol
Great job! Those ribs look amazing! So, just for clarification...not 3-2-1, but 2-2-1? Also, you went bone down for 2 hrs, wrapped meat side down 2 hrs, then bone down again for the last hour? I just set 3 racks out of the freezer to give it a go this weekend.
Thank you Michael! That’s correct 2-2-1 method. First 2hrs smoked bone down. Next 2hrs wrapped with honey butter meat side down (so the meat will be in the liquid) last hour bone down with sauce. I found this method to work very well! Making me hungry now lol
Depending on how you like your ribs, if you like them sweet spritz then with apple juice with apple cider vinegar!🤤
Got my Z Grill yesterday. If I'm cooking only ribeyes and burgers, how many pellets should I add? You make it look soooo good! Z Grill Ambassador!!!
you can fill the hopper, just make sure to keep then dry in the hopper for storage
I keep my hopper filled! Just like FIZZLE 989 said keep it dry. My grill sits outside with the Z Grills waterproof cover on it. I never have any problems!
I personally like using mustard instead of oil as binder.
I see you were reminiscing the young years activities. lol The Z Grill/smoker did a great job. The ribs turned out very nice. Looked delicious. Wait, I think I hear something......Oh, it's the wife hollering for you to get those ribs in the house so she can eat. lol
Haha! Yes! I found it hard to get up the next day after kicking that soccer ball around lol the wife was drooling over the ribs behind the camera!
you may want to check the temp with a separate thermometer. I found my grill is running 30 degrees hotter than the grill says
They look like good ribs. Seems like a good grill.
Did you have a generator out in that field you cook in to plug it in to, or a really long extension cord? Baby backs have less fat, are more similar to pork loin, or loin chops. Spares are on the side closer to the pork belly and are a little more like bacon. IMHO.
I like spares better than baby backs, but it’s close.
Thanks Lew! Ya I used a really long extension cord. The house is not horribly far from the outdoor kitchen. It was a hard choice! Appreciate you watching 😊
Add a Camp Chef collapsible front shelf off Amazon. Helps with getting those ribs off.
I have seen those! I will have to pick one up. Appreciate the suggestion!
I have one of the newer series Z Grills. Can I still use a camp chef shelf?
What honey butter is that?
Famous Dave’s is from Missouri like me!
Just stumbled across this video researching about z grills. Famous Dave Anderson is from Wisconsin
Baby back of course and I have the 10002B z grill
I enjoy the baby backs too! How do you like your z grill?
I really like it a lot tomorrow I make brisket beef jerky and baby back ribs .
Oh man that sounds wonderful! That’s gonna be some good eating!! You will have to let me know how it turns out!
100% satisfied everything was perfect except I wish it had a little bet more smoke flavor? Any suggestions?
Ya I’ve heard that about pellet grills. What kind of pellets are you using? Mesquite or hickory work well for smoke flavor. You ran it at the lowest temp I’m sure? One thing that I’m going to try is an “A-Maze-N” smoker tube. Look it up! It might be worth a try!
So what was the total time you cooked your ribs ? You didn’t say the last time frame… once you Sauced them .
I really like Baby Back especially for most folks. However, if you can find some really fatty spare ribs, they are better. It is the fat that makes them good and healthy.
Most definitely!
You failed to tell us how long you had it on after you put the sauce on - 2 to 2 1/2 hours bare smoked meat side up (spray with apple cider or juice every 30-45 mins) - Then foil them for 2 hours - then out of foil with sauce ? FOR HOW LONG
Great video. How long did you smoke with BBQ sauce?
They sat with the sauce for about an 1hr! They turned out great!
So, 2,2,1 method?
That is correct! Turned out great!
how long did they cook after u put on the bbq sauce
After you put the barbecue sauce on let them cook another hour! It really finishes off the ribs! Just don’t burn the sauce.
If you are setting the the temp, what is the smoke setting for?
The smoke setting is made to produce the most smoke possible. The temp range is usually around 150-180 degrees. Hope this helps!
How long did you put them back on after you applied the bbq sauce ?
After I applied the bbq sauce I put them back on for another hour. Happy Grillin’z!
Baum Grillin'z thanks brother!
Your welcome!
whats that blower noise you hear on all the z grill reviews?
That’s the induction fan. It helps circulate the smoke throughout the grill! Works really well!
at 11:30 of the video you said "ok those things are ready", but you didn't say how long you put them on for, after the sauce. I got 2 hours after the rub, then 2 more hours after the honey butter and brown sugar wrapped, but how much time on that last smoke with the sauce on them?
I used a 2-2-1 method so 1 hour after sauce. Sorry I updated the description and added instructions!
@@BaumGrillinzBBQ thanks!! and great videos, I really appreciate it. Please keep going with it. New pellet grill owner here and you've got a talent for making complicated things simple. Big fan.
Same temperature throughout the whole entire 2-2-1??
That’s correct. It worked very well in this scenario 👍
too bad when you set the grille on a heat setting the smoke really comes to a stop..I have to add pellet tubes for the smokey taste, or put the setting to smoke for a couple hours for more smoke taste.
Ya it really is a negative. Smoke tubes it is with pellet grills
Hello, I'm looking into the z grill and it appears to me that it cooks with indirect heat. Basically a Smoker "Oven".... How would a burger or steak come out without using direct heat? I'm so used to charcoal. :-/
Hi Don! You are correct the z grill is a pellet grill so it does indirect cooking. Basically an oven. I cook burgers on mine all the time though as you can really get the temps up. It will not be like a burger over direct heat but it will still be a very good burger. 👍 especially if ya smoke the burger first then turn the heat up. Yum!
@@BaumGrillinzBBQ Wow! That's terrific news! Thank you so much for responding. This bit of news makes this decision a simple one. Take good care!
As far as hitting them with the apple cider vinegar, is that ever 45-60 mins for the whole smoke or just the first 2 hours?
Just for the first two hours 👍
@@BaumGrillinzBBQ awesome, thank you!
Great video bud! Does your twin brother get any commission off the Z Grill sales? 😂
Thank you!! And no.. he was paid in ribs lol 😆
@@BaumGrillinzBBQ I mean... could be worse.
Can’t you use the meat smoking paper that’s for smoking instead of foil?
Yes you can! Definitely would work well
Thanks for the video. How long did you cook the ribs after you took off the foil?
Your very welcome! Once you have taken them out of the foil, slather them in bbq sauce and return to the smoker for another hour! Hope this helps! Happy Grillin’z!
Baum Grillin'z yes, that helps so much. I just received my Z Grill 1000, assembled and fired it up. All tested and ready to cook some ribs tomorrow. Going to do two racks. I’m going to wrap one in foil and one in butcher paper to see the difference. Thanks again for your video and your quick response.
That’s exciting! Congrats! That should be a great experience. You will have to let me know which one you prefer. Sounds like you are ready to make some delicious food with that grill! Enjoy!
Baum Grillin'z both were delicious. There were subtle differences though. The ribs wrapped in foil were more tender. The ribs wrapped in butcher paper had more flavor from the butter sauce I used just prior to wrapping. Could be a function of the paper or perhaps I used more butter sauce. Either way, both delicious. Going to smoke ribs again next weekend along with a pork butt and a brisket. Thanks again for your help and I will look forward to more videos.
Oh man! Thank you for letting me know how it went. You’re making me hungry! What times dinner next weekend haha all those sound delicious!
Dry
If if you turn your ribs over and cut them you won’t mess up the bark on the front.. or you can stand them up and cut.. will save your bark on the front every time. These would have been better on your Weber btw 😉
Wow great tip thank you! I was a little upset when I butchered the bark. I’ll definitely be doing these on the weber as well! Gives me a good reason to make ribs again lol
Did you keep the temp at 235 you did not say
Yes you do! Maintain 235f through the whole cook. Enjoy! 😊
@@BaumGrillinzBBQ Z Grill 700 I just bought only has settings for 225 and 250. I just did my first cook of ribs (One rack of St Louis and One rack of Baby Back). The temp kept fluctuating and I had a hard time keeping it around 235. Thoughts? BTW the ribs turned out awesome. I followed your recipe to the letter.
It looked like it wasn’t smoking at all.
Looks like messi plays football very messy 😂
I would like to know where you can buy this honey butter
You really look like Messi🤣
Haha! 😂
Talk to youtube I’m not getting notifications for your new videos.
That’s odd... I’ve heard of issues like this. Maybe un click the bell and do it again? Not sure. Cmon UA-cam!
Where is the smoke?
The pellet grill does not provide very much smoke unfortunately. A lot of people use a smoke tube with the pellet grill to achieve more smoke flavor 👍
this recipe is not for diabetics
You had me until you put famous dave's sauce on them.
I liked the flavor. I enjoy trying new types of bbq sauce m, what do you suggest I try next?
Stubs BBQ sauce not to sweet
Stubs is good!
I have a brand new ZGrill 1000e. Temperature runs away and doesn’t control at all at 225. I have to stand over it and keep turning it to 180 to get temp down. No response from ZGrill! POS!
Have you cleaned your temp probe? Sometimes that can be the problem. It’s not the best. Hope you can figure it out!
Texas tip..never use foil..
Would you suggest butcher paper? Or not at all?
butter, honey, brown sugar etc does NOTHING for the ribs. Try using Apple Juice or my personal favorite- BOURBON for the wrapping. It is 1,000 times better than butter and the rest. You're welcome.
