Country-style ribs marinated in maple bourbon and pineapple juice, rubbed with Praise the Lard Rub, and finished over hot coals.
↓ Jump to Recipe
Simmer the marinade ingredients for 10 minutes, then cool completely.
Marinate 8 lbs of country-style ribs overnight, or a minimum of 6–8 hours.
Pat the ribs dry, then season liberally with the Praise the Lard Rub.
Smoke at 250–275°F until internal temp reaches 195–200°F, fall-apart tender.
Move to hot coals on the Weber Kettle and sear until crispy, basting with BBQ sauce. Careful on the sear — this rub has sugar in it and can burn.
Rest 15 minutes and serve — goes great over the garlic mashed potatoes.

Calculated from the ingredient list, not lab-tested — treat as a ballpark. Only the marinade retained after soaking is counted, not the full amount poured over. Doesn't include the BBQ sauce basted on during the sear, since that's not a measured amount. Country-style ribs are a fattier cut, so most of this is from the meat itself.
