This thread is in response to a specific request.

don't know what cut of ribs you wanna use - but i usually do this 3 - 4 days in advance...

you need a barbecue sauce for a base & i always wind up with extra so i use a processed sauce like Bull's Eye Original to start

in a 6 quart pot heat the sauce (again depending on the amount of ribs you want to cook the proportions are going to vary) about half the bottle

add 1 onion chopped coarsely
4 +/- garlic cloves chopped coarsley
the juice of one lemon
tabasco or similar hot sauce to taste
crushed red pepper to taste - it's a work in progress so you'll have to taste it as you go - heheheh

let simmer about 15 minutes stirring often

add 1/4 cup molasses and stir to blend

simmer 10 minutes

add 1 cup bourbon - i use Grand Dad - don't skimp

simmer 5 minutes more

pour the sauce over the ribs in a sealable container - coat all over & refrigerate

if you do this ahead, turn each morning & evening till you're ready to burn them

preheat the grill HOT!!!

place the ribs on the grill & turn the grill down to low & close the lid - you may want to rotate the ribs as they cook between racks

if you save the sauce for a baste bring it to a boil for at least 10 minutes - but boil it!!!

the secret is low & slow

crack a couple of cold ones - sit back & watch the neighbors walk by :D

The simplest and the best I have had: Wrap the ribs in foil. Bake(yes bake) at 350 for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Cover with BBQ sauce and place on the grill for 10 min turning as they brown. Simple and great.

Its not on the BBQ but easy like sunday morning....soo good. Put your ribs (pork side) in a 8x12 pan, or what ever. For sauce use 1-1/2 cups BBQ sauce and 1/2cup orange juice. Cook at 350f covered for 45min and a additional 20-30 uncovered. Its the bomb. Do NOT boil your ribs first. It removes all of your flavor.... I can't take credit Joy Of Cooking rocks!!!
