Memphis Style BBQ Ribs

Our preference is for smaller Baby Back Ribs, but they can be hard to find on Salt Spring Island so we usually just pick up regular back ribs. If you know your butcher, get him/her to cut the rack in half lengthwise for nice appetizer size portions of ribs.

Ingredients:
  1 rack pork back ribs (about 1 pound)
  1 tbsp oil
  4 tsp BBQ Rub
  1 tsp salt
  1 tsp brown sugar
  Optional:
  1/4-1/2 cup BBQ sauce

Method:
1. Remove membrane from back of ribs and rub both sides with vegetable oil.
2. Combine BBQ Rub, salt and sugar. Rub evenly into both sides of ribs.
3. BBQ over indirect heat for 2 1/2 -3 hours or place on a foil lined baking sheet in a 300 degree oven.
4. If desired during the last 15 minutes of cooking, place over direct heat of the BBQ and brush with your favourite BBQ sauce.
