Memphis-Style Barbecued Pork Ribs
- Four 3-pound slabs pork spare ribs (also called St. Louis-style ribs), untrimmed
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups Neely's Barbecue Seasoning, plus more, as desired
- 4 cups Neelys Barbecue Sauce
- For the ribs:
- Rinse the rib slabs in cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.
- Place the slabs on a clean chopping board.
- Using your fingers, pull off the thick white membrane.
- Use a small knife to trim off the excess fat and meat.
- Using a sharp knife, trim off the brisket bone (or rib tip).
- Season both sides of the slab with salt and Neelys Barbecue Seasoning, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to a day in advance.
- When youre ready to cook the ribs, preheat the grill to 250F, preferably using a combination of hickory wood and charcoal.
- Place the slab on the grill away from (not directly over) the flame (using indirect heat).
- Cook the slab curl-side up for approximately 2 1/2 hours.
- Flip the slab over to finish the cooking, about 1 more hour, or until you get the full bend in the slab (see Notes).
- For dry ribs, pull the ribs off the grill, and sprinkle more Neelys Barbecue Seasoning over the entire slab.
- Cut between the bones and serve.
- For wet ribs, pull the ribs off the grill, and pour Neelys Barbecue Sauce over the slab.
- Slice between the bones into individual portions, and serve.
