How to Cook BBQ Pork Spare Ribs With Dry Rub

We’re here to show you how easy it is to cook BBQ pork spare ribs on a grill. If have a grill but you’ve never cooked a rack of pork spare ribs before, we can help!

Step 1 – The Rack of Ribs

To BBQ a quality pork spare ribs, one must use quality meat and a quality dry rub. There are very few dry rubs on the market and Texas Brother’s BBQ dry rub’s all natural ingredients provide just the right combination to turn a regular rack of ribs into a prize winner. Follow these 5 steps to make your next cookout a success. When selecting pork ribs for a barbecue, there are different cuts that you can purchase from your local grocery store and butcher. We use a 2 1/2 pound St. Louis cut pork spare rib.

Step 2 – Applying the Dry Rub Spice

Apply an even layer of dry rub to the spare rib. For contrast, we covered only half of this rack of ribs. Are your lips watering yet?

Step 3 – Before and After Dry Rub Spice

Apply dry rub to the meat side of the rib only. The underside of the rib has a film that seals in the moisture. This his how the rib should look like with a layer of barbeque dry rub.

Step 4 – The Cooking Process

This rib has been on for 45 minutes at a temperature range of 270-300 degrees. When using an open grill, you might want to wrap the spare ribs right now for tenderness. This will reduce the amount of caramelization. Keep the ribs on the grill for another hour and a half.

Step 5 – Final Thoughts

There you have it, the finished product. Get your appetites ready and sharpen your knives because you are about to remove the ribs from the cooker. When slicing your ribs, let the knife follow the rib bone to achieve a quality cut.
