Well, here's the spot to ask. We've got a rib cook off coming up and haven't really considered a new recipe. We have access to a good BBQ but not a smoker. Any ideas on making killer ribs? Either a dry rub or saucy mega rib, just the most killer ribs ever. Thanks in advance eh!

I keep it simple.. Couple onions chopped up in large chunks, lay in the bottom of a slow cooker, cut ribs into sections of 2-3 ribs each and lay on top of onion bed. Season with desired spices a sauces, cook on high for about 3hrs. Remove ribs from slow cooker, strain onion chunks and chop into real small bits, mix with desired spices and sauce(sweet, spicy, store bought or home made, home made is best if you know what you want..)
Pre heat BBQ on low, place ribs on grill and baste with sauce until you can't wait anymore. Simple and tasty.. I like sweet with heat (honey and peppers in sauce), nice balance. Good luck!

You'll have to practice with the same size batch to get the timing just right for texture and dryness.

I agree with the dry rub overnight. I slow roast them in in the oven in a covered roasting pan for a couple hours rendering the fat out of them preventing flare ups later on the grill.

Then just finish them basting them with sauce on the grill.

Ribs same as with wings, I boil in a big pot of water for 3-5 minutes first to get rid of some of the grease. Season to taste then bbq or oven...

Put the char from the grill on the ribs before the sauce, BBq sauce burns pretty easy.
