Grilled Pork Ribs
This classic spareribs recipe is cooked entirely on the grill. It has several steps that can be used on pork spareribs, country style ribs, or pretty much any other type of pork rib.
Ingredients:
- 6 pounds pork spareribs
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1/4 cup salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 5 tablespoons pan drippings
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 4 cups ketchup
- 3 cups hot water
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- cayenne pepper to taste
- # salt and pepper to taste
1 cup wood chips, soaked
Prepare grill for indirect cooking, placing drip pan directly under the cooking area. Do not cut ribs into serving pieces. Rub ribs with oil and thyme. Place ribs on grill, cover, and grill 4-6" from medium coals for 60-70 minutes, until meat is no longer pink near the bone. Add more briquettes if necessary after 45 minutes of cooking time to maintain temperature. While ribs are cooking, make barbecue sauce. Combine ketchup, water, sugar, vinegar, celery seed, tabasco, and pepper in medium saucepan and heat to boiling. Simmer 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens. Brush this sauce over the ribs during the last 15-20 minutes of grilling time. Heat any remaining sauce to a boil; boil and stir for 1 minute, then serve with ribs. 4 servings
