How to Make Delicious Smoked Rib Tips on Your Traeger Grill: Step-by-Step Smoked Rib Tip Recipe

Introduction

Have you ever had rib tips before? If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat! Rib tips are usually cut off and thrown away, but they’re actually one of the most flavorful parts of the spare rib. In this article, we’ll show you how to smoke rib tips using a Traeger Pellet Smoker, and we guarantee that the end result will be so delicious, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.

So, let’s get started!

Step 1: Prep Your Rib Tips

To smoke rib tips, you’ll first need to prepare them. Cut them into 2-3 inch pieces and season them with BBQ rub. This will give the rib tips a great flavor and help to enhance the natural flavor of the meat.

Step 2: Preheat Your Traeger Pellet Smoker

Preheat your Traeger Pellet Smoker to a steady temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure that the smoker is well ventilated and that the temperature remains constant throughout the smoking process.

Step 3: Smoke Your Rib Tips

Once your smoker is preheated, it’s time to smoke your rib tips. Place the seasoned rib tips on the smoker and let them smoke for 3-4 hours. During this time, make sure that the temperature remains constant.

Step 4: Finish with Sauce

After 3-4 hours of smoking, remove the rib tips from the smoker and toss them in a sauce of your choice. Place the sauced rib tips back on the smoker and let them cook for another hour. This will give the sauce time to caramelize and create a delicious outer layer.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

After the rib tips are finished cooking, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and keep the rib tips juicy. Then, serve and enjoy!

Tips:

• If you don’t have any leftover trimmings, you can buy spare ribs and trim off the rib tips yourself.
• The cooked rib tips should be tender and easily pull apart with a fork.

Conclusion

Smoked rib tips are a delicious way to make use of a part of the spare rib that is usually thrown away. They’re easy to make, and the Traeger Pellet Smoker gives them a fantastic smoky flavor. Serve them up at your next barbecue or grilling session, and your guests will be sure to ask for the recipe.
