To start, here’s what you will need:
Ingredients:
– 2 racks of pork spare ribs
– 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
– 1/4 cup of brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons of paprika
– 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon of onion powder
– 1 tablespoon of salt
– 1 tablespoon of black pepper
– Aluminum foil
Instructions:
1. Prepare the grill
Start by setting up your grill for indirect grilling. Place the coals on one side of the grill if you’re using charcoal. Light only one side and keep the other side off if you’re using a gas grill. Preheat your grill to around 275°F (135°C). This low and slow cooking method will ensure tender and juicy ribs.
2. Prep the ribs
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will make the ribs more tender and allow the flavors to penetrate better. To remove the membrane, gently loosen it with a butter knife and then grab it with a paper towel or cloth to pull it off.
3. Create the dry rub
Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. This dry rub will enhance the flavor of the ribs and give them a delicious crust. Rub the mixture evenly over both ribs and coat them thoroughly.
4. Wrap in foil
Make a foil packet by tearing off a large sheet of aluminum foil. Place each rack of ribs on a separate sheet of foil, meat side up. Wrap the ribs tightly, making sure to seal the edges completely. This will help trap the moisture and infuse the ribs with flavor as they cook.
5. Slow cook on the grill
Place the foil-wrapped ribs on the cool side of the grill, away from direct heat. Close the lid and let the ribs cook for about 3 hours. The slow cooking will make the meat tender and juicy.
6. Glaze with BBQ sauce
After 3 hours, remove the ribs from the foil and place them directly on the grill over medium-high heat. Brush a generous amount of your favorite BBQ sauce on both ribs. Let them cook for 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally and basting them with more sauce.
7. Serve and enjoy
Once the ribs are nicely glazed and have a caramelized finish, remove them from the grill and rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more flavorful ribs. Cut the racks into individual ribs and serve them with extra BBQ sauce on the side.There you have it – a delicious campfire BBQ ribs recipe for your next summer cookout. The slow cooking process combined with the flavorful dry rub and BBQ sauce will create tender, juicy ribs that burst with flavor.
