Smoked Pork Spareribs

Ingredients

·        KC Masterpiece® Original BBQ Sauce

·        2 tablespoons vegetable oil

·        4 racks Smithfield® St. Louis Style Pork Spareribs (membrane removed if so desired)

·        2 handfuls of hickory or Applewood chips for smoking, soaking in water and drained

Instructions

Cooking time: 90+ minutes

1.      About one hour before cooking, coat both sides of ribs with a little vegetable oil and sprinkle with your favorite BBQ seasoning blend. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.

2.      Heat grill for indirect cooking at 230 degrees Fahrenheit to 250 degrees F, using charcoal. Add drained wood chips. Place the rib, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours.

3.      Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat. Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs the grill and cook for 1½ to 3 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender.

4.      Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.

5.      Remove ribs from grill and unwrap. Place ribs over direct heat on grill and brush with BBQ sauce. Cook for about 5 minute until the sauce is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more sauce.
