BBQ Pork Ribs

[Golfgar4]

I did my first BBQ ribs in the DO today, and they were great!

This recipe completely cook the ribs in the DO. You do not take them out at the end and finish them on the grill. They are completely dry roasted, except for the sauce that is added about halfway through.

I had just about 6 pounds of ribs, and discovered that the recipe for the barbecue doesn't really make enough for that many ribs, so I made a second batch. Now I must add that I like a lot of sauce on my ribs. If you like them a bit dryer with more of a crust, then the amount of sauce would be alright.

My wife though they could be just a bit sweeter. I felt that there was enough sweetness from the ketchup, but adding about a 1/4 cup of sugar or sugar substitute would sweeten it up just a bit more.

I cooked the ribs in a 12" DO, and followed the temperature recommendations of the recipe. It all timed out perfectly, and the meat was falling off of the bone.

Overall, I would give this recipe a A+ rating. It was great!

Sounds good! It's winter here in MN and I am very much OVER going outside to cook anymore.

Suziquzie -

We're originally from Wisconsin - Go Packers! So I understand your "reluctance" in going outside to cook. I wouldn't either if I were there.

We'll be spending our summer in Minnesota near St. Cloud. We'll be workamping at an RV park from June to October. Where are you located?

We're in North Branch, It's actually about an hour straight East on 95 from St.Cloud, 40 miles North of St. Paul up 35. There's not much here, but we have an outlet mall!!!!!
We used to live in the cities but decided on wide open spaces..... so we could buy and park an RV someday. So far we've got someone ELSE's RV parked here... I think I may hijack it.
