Better Than Sex Barbecued Ribs
Serves: 4-6


Our choice of rub and sauce is very important to the end product but
the process of brining and slow cooking are the most important. The
sauce I chose for this recipe is an excellent all purpose barbecue
sauce that is all natural and tastes incredible.


Ingredients:
4 slabs ribs
2/3 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup black pepper, cracked
Pinch dried thyme
13 cloves
13 allspice, cracked
3 bay leaves
Southern Barbecue Rub
Bone Suckin BBQ Sauce


Prepare brine by combining salt, brown sugar, black pepper, thyme,
cloves, allspice and bay leaves with 3 quarts of water and bring to a
boil. One the brine has come to a boil, turn off heat and let cool.
Remove the membrane from the backside of the ribs and place them in a
clean trash bag. Place the trash bag into a cooler lined with a small
amount of ice. Pour brine into the trash bag with ribs. Tie the trash
bag so that it will not leak and let brine overnight.


Remove ribs from brine and dry them gently. Rub with Southern Barbecue
Rub and let come to room temperature before placing on grill.


Prepare a medium hot fire for indirect heat cooking in a covered grill
according to manufacturer's instructions. Position rack 4-6 inches
from fire. Soak hickory and mesquite chips and chunks in water to
cover for at least 20 minutes.


When grill reaches a temperature between 250-300 degrees F, put on
your ribs. Try to keep the temperature in that range using charcoal
and wood chips and chunks without opening the grill more than up have
to. The ribs should not need to be turned but may need to be rotated
due to uneven heating in your grill. Cook for 5-6 hours.


Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest covered with aluminum
foil for 10 minutes. Heat barbecue sauce while ribs rest either on
stove or microwave until just hot. Once the ribs have rested, cut into
portions and apply barbecue sauce. Serve immediately.
