July 01, 20251 min read

If you’ve ever wondered how to cook true championship -style ribs on a pellet cooker, I’m walking you through every step in this video — from seasoning to the final glaze.

💥 But here’s the twist… Even though these ribs are pellet smoked (275 degrees), I finish them over live fire to lock in that signature look, taste, and bite that ravenous dinner guests and even judges expect.

Whether you’re cooking for friends, family, or the competition circuit, this method levels up your rib game fast.
