Barbeque pork spare ribs with charcoal grill and dutch oven for melt in your mouth backyard or campground dinner.
Needed: Charcoal grill, Deep 12" dutch oven, most of an afternoon, and 6-8 hungry folks.
Preparation time: 1/2 hour
Cook time: 4 hours
Total time: 4-1/2 hours
3 slabs of pork ribs
1 pint of BBQ sauce
vegetable oil
black pepper
Prepare charcoal grill for ash white hot coals and maximum grill height for slow browning. While coals are burning down, split slab ribs into individual rib pieces and swab with cooking oil. Pepper liberally and then brown on both sides. Do not pre-boil ribs. Prepare deep 12" dutch oven by placing an inverted pie pan or other spacer into oven bottom. This prevents ribs on the bottom from sticking and burning. Place dutch oven on the charcoal grill and add the browned ribs. Slow cook ribs covered, about 2-3 hours or until meat begins to fall off bone. You may line oven with aluminum foil to ease clean up chores. Add briquettes to the fire as necessary. When the pot is half full of ribs I add bbq sauce to those on the bottom only. Continue loading the oven with the browned ribs. This step is optional as well as adjustable since some folks prefer to add sauce after cooking. The steaming sauce flavors the bottom ribs thoroughly and the top ribs somewhat less.
