I made some BOB (bite off the bone) ribs. I got a nice meaty rack of back ribs and removed the silverskin from the back by the ribs by lifting one corner with a sharp knife and then grasping the membrane with a paper towel and pulling it off the meat.

I rubbed the ribs with my Basic Rub.

I preheated my Traeger Timberline to 230 F (110 C) and put the ribs on. I cooked the ribs to an internal temperature of 190 F (88 C) which took about 4 hours.

I brushed the ribs with a generous layer Hickey Bottom Honey BBQ sauce and cooked for 40 minutes longer.

I took the ribs off the grill and cut into single ribs.

Note how they are bite off the bone. The meat doesn’t fall off the bone but does bite off easily and is very tender and moist.

The Verdict

I love making ribs this way. It is She Who Must Be Obeyed's favourite. I kind of lean towards 3-2-1 and fall off the bone but I have been assured these are better by the higher power.

Nice back ribs disco! Looks like thats the perfect "bob" ribs. Ive got a few racks waiting for next weekend.
 
Those are some fine looking ribs Disco!! Beautiful job....on these and your Buffalo wings. Apologies sir, but I never got around to responding to that one. I'm with you though. I prefer BOB versus FOTB. Sadly Tracy prefers FOTB. IMHO, that's not a whole lot different than pulled pork :emoji_wink:

Big LIKE!!

Great job.

My wife prefers FOTB, but I'm slowly converting here.

She ate some of my left over baby backs yesterday. They had a bit more bite than BoB.

I make them a touch more "bite" when intended for a long slow cook on a tractor manifold.
 
Those are about to pretty to eat !!! Nahhhhh

Great job

Many prefer FOTB but IMO the flavor has gone past prime at that stage due to over cooking. BoB has been our method for years! A nice clean bite (no naw or tug required) lets the meat flavor shine. JMTC

Thanks, but I'm with your missus. I like FOTB. However, BOB are pretty good too.

Awesome ribs. As usual.

Thanks so much!

Thanks Gary. I hope you are well.
 
Pretty ribs, Disco! My "She Who Must Be Obeyed" likes them FOTB but she is OK with BOB :-)

Thanks for the like. Truth be told, I like both too!
