Remove the membranes from the back of each rack of ribs by sliding a butter knife between the membrane and the bone over a center rib, then gripping the membrane with a paper towel and pulling away. Trim any excess fat. Season both sides of the ribs with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub. Let sit for 10 minutes.
