Is there anyone out there that have a killer recipe for ribs? We love to grill with charcoal using a Weber and I am looking for something that just makes your mouth water for more.
Thanks

Take a rack of ribs, cover then in aluminum foil. Place in the over for about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours at 325 degrees.
Get your grill ready, then after the ribs have cooked for the hour or so remove them and place them on the grill. Cook each side about 7 mins. then cover each side with your favorite bbq sauce and cook on each side for about 1 or 2 mins. Be sure to not let the bbq sauce cook, that is don't let it blacken.
PREPARATION
Use a good "rib rub" (Emeril's, Stubb's, etc.) on the ribs, cover and refigerate from a couple of hours to overnight depending on how much time you have available.
COOKIN
(You need to be able to cook over open flame and then be able to use indirect heat, ie off to the side)
Get a good size fire going and when its ready, put ribs directly over flame for a few minutes (until you get grill marks on the meat) and flip over to the other side and do the same. Then get the ribs off the direct heat, smother in favorite bbq sauce; let cook for about 10 min or until the sauce thickens, repeat this process several times; this gives you several layers of flavor (hint: change sauces during this process for additional flavor)
When you're satisfied with the amount of sauce, wrap 'em up in aluminum foil and place back on grill (indirect heat) until ready.

Ron, A couple of years ago I started trying to learn to make good BBQ ribs. I'm pretty happy with my current recipe. I use good baby back ribs with the membrane removed. Cover them with a BBQ rub and refrigerate for an hour or so. I make a rub, but any one will work. Bring the ribs to room temp then put in a 250 degree oven for about 3 hours. I take them out and cover with BBQ sauce. I use Bull's Eye regular commercial sauce. I read an article in Bon Appetite and they recommended the Bulls Eye. Then they go on a hot BBQ grill for about half an hour. They fall off the bone.
I sometimes take them with us in our Roadtrek. I pre-cook in the oven let cool and refrigerate. When we get to our campsite I put on the sauce and BBQ. Works great.
Enjoy!

Use a dry rub on the ribs. You can experiment making your own dry rub using 1/2 cup paprika and then about 1 tablespoon each of chili powder, ground black pepper, ground white pepper, salt, dry mustard, red cayenne pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. I do not have a recipe for it as I just make the stuff! Take this stuff and rub all over the ribs then refrig. the ribs overnight. Take them out of the fridge an hour before sticking on the smoker. I reserve a bit of the dry spice to make a mopping solution. For the basting solution, I get a couple tablespoons of the dry spice and add to a cup and a half of apple cider vinegar.
Get the charcoal hot and add some wood that has been soaked in water (hickory, oak, cherry, apple, pecan are my favs.) to produce a lot of smoke. Place ribs over medium hot coals. It should be about 220-230 degrees, you should be able to hold your hand over where the ribs are without burning your hand, but still hot. I use a smoker which puts the meat a foot-18inches from the coals. If using my regular weber grill, I really have to attend them to keep from burning. Every 30 minutes or so, mop or spray on the ribs that basting solution. Make sure they do not cook fast! Takes a good 6 hours for the ribs. I like the cheap spare ribs....baby backs are good but the price is just to high. Can also be used for pork shoulder using same method but takes a good 10 hours to do.
If you like BBQ sauce, apply no more than 20 minutes before removing from grill. That sauce will burn and turn ribs black. Can't give out the sauce recipe exactly, but I use ketchup, brown sugar (sometimes honey), part of the above dry mix and a bit of apple cider vinegar.
Got to add, BAD is right, that regular Bullseye is good stuff if you have not tried it. My 2nd fav for prepared sauce is just regular Hunts BBQ sauce.
Basically have fun, experiment and remember great ribs are a labor of love and take a lots of time. Give it a try and adjust the flavors to your own taste.
