Regarding BBQ Inc.
There are many right ways to make BBQ Ribs. In this little tutorial we'll look at several variations you can use to get the BBQ ribs you want. After all the best pork BBQ rib is the one you like best. So if you want them fall off the bone tender then make them that way. If you want a crisp, crunch surface then I will show you how to do that as well. You can put sauce on them or not. You can make your BBQ Ribs spicy hot, or sticky and sweet. It's all up to you and don't let anyone tell you that it isn't right.

What you will need for BBQ Ribs:

  • racks of ribs (I'm working with spareribs but you can use baby back ribs)
  • A good Rib Rub
  • Fuel for your smoker (like charcoal or whatever your smoker burns)
  • Wood Chunks
  • A reliable meat thermometer
  • Heavy duty aluminum foil (if you intend to wrap your ribs)
  • Barbecue Sauce if you intend to sauce your BBQ ribs
  • A large knife
