Country Style BBQ Ribs
Country Style Barbecue Ribs
3-4 ribs per person. Trim off excess fat and extraneous meat and wipe dry.
Dry Seasoning
Sprinkle generously with garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Come
back
lightly with thyme, black pepper and salt and allow to come to room
temperature.
Prepare the grill for barbecuing - temperature about 210 º - and lay in
enough coals for 3-4 hours of cooking. Control the temperature with the
draft
(air) inlet. Good, all hardwood charcoal is all that is required. Add
white
oak or hickory for additional smoke flavor, if desired.
Basting Sauce
Prepare a basting sauce of 1/3 cup each of olive oil, water and
Worcestershire with 1 T. each of garlic powder, onion powder and 1 t. each
of
mustard, thyme, ground bay and celery seed.
When the coals are ready, baste the ribs and place on the grill opposite
the
coals. Close the grill and play. Baste and turn ribs about every half
hour.
Finishing Sauce
Prepare a finishing sauce of 1 cup apple butter and 1/2 cup Worcestershire
sauce and 2 T. prepared mustard simmered slightly. Baste when the ribs are
done (begin checking after about 3 hours) and serve sauce on the side at
the
table.
Don't over cook.
