Texas Style Spare Ribs

Large meaty ribs for everyone

Spare ribs are large and are hard to confuse with any other type of ribs! Spare ribs come from the side and belly of the pig, contain more fat and are flatter than baby back ribs. Obviously, the extra fat provides more flavor and take longer to cook than the smaller baby back ribs. Most rib enthusiasts prefer the taste of spareribs over the baby backs because of the rich flavors.

  6 pounds pork spareribs

  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 cup salt
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • salt to taste
  • wood chips, soaked or chunks

Rinse the ribs, trim any excess fat and remove the membrane. In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the sugar, 1/4 cup salt, ground black pepper, paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Apply spice mix to the ribs liberally. Place the ribs in roasting pans, cover, and refrigerate for 2- 8 hours.

Get your grill going steady at 250°.

When ready to barbecue, wrap soaked wood chips in heavy duty foil or to the smoker box and place near the fire for great smoke flavor. Cook and baste with a 50-50 mix of apple juice and butter every hour until done.  Allow 7-9 hours to cook. Remove before they fall off the bone.
