Purchase individual racks of pork back ribs with good marbling and remove the membrane by lifting it from the middle and pulling it off.
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
Trim any protruding pieces or excess fat from the ribs.
Apply a layer of sweet barbecue rub on the side with the bones, pressing it gently into the meat and covering the edges.
Flip the ribs so the meat side is up.
Let the seasoned ribs sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes to allow the rub to absorb into the meat.
Preheat the pellet grill to 275°F and let it reach the temperature.
Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and cook for approximately 2.5 hours, brushing with melted butter every hour.
After initial cooking, wrap the ribs in foil with a little butter, a splash of sweet barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and a pinch of chili flakes, then cook for an additional hour.
Prepare the barbecue sauce by heating about 0.75 cup of sauce with a tablespoon of honey and additional barbecue spices.
Unwrap the ribs and brush with the prepared barbecue sauce.
Wrap the ribs in foil again, with the meat side up, and cook for another 10-15 minutes to set the sauce.
Rest the ribs uncovered for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
