EJ'S SIMPLE RIBS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine mustard powder, paprika, celery salt, onion powder, red-pepper flakes, garlic powder, celery seed, and 1 teaspoon salt. Rub slabs on both sides with the spice mixture, and refrigerate, loosely covered, for 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Stack slabs on a double layer of aluminum foil; tightly wrap. Place on a rack on a baking sheet. Cook until meat pulls away from the bone and is easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil grates. Carefully remove ribs from foil, pouring off any liquid. Brush generously on both sides with rib sauce; grill ribs until sauce begins to bubble and brown around the edges, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Serve ribs with any leftover sauce, if desired.

EJ'S SIMPLE OVEN-BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil large enough to cover the pan twice (you will be folding this over the ribs and sealing.)
• Place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet in 1 layer. In a small bowl, combine the Rib Rub, salt, pepper, and celery salt and stir to combine. Divide the seasoning evenly among both slabs of ribs, coating well on both sides. Fold the sides of the foil over the ribs and seal tightly on all sides. Place the ribs in the oven and bake, undisturbed, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until ribs are very tender.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and peel back the foil so that the ribs are exposed. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, coat the racks lightly on the meaty sides with barbecue sauce. Return to the oven until sauce is thickened and lightly browned, about 20 minutes longer. Remove the ribs from the oven and set aside to cool briefly before cutting between the ribs and serving. Serve with more barbecue sauce, if desired.
• Combine all ingredients and store in an air-tight container.

JIM'S SECRET FAMILY RECIPE RIBS

Reserve 1 cup for serving., Remove ribs from oven; discard juices. Brush both sides with barbecue sauce. Grill ribs, covered, on a greased grill rack over low direct heat, turning and brushing occasionally with remaining sauce, until heated through, about 10 minutes.

EJ'S SIMPLE OVEN-BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil that is large enough to cover the pan twice (you will be folding this over the ribs and sealing it).
• Arrange the ribs, meat side up, in one layer on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the Rib Rub, salt, pepper, and celery salt, and stir to combine. Divide the seasoning evenly between the 2 slabs of ribs, coating them well on both sides. Fold the extra length of foil over the ribs, and seal it tightly on all sides. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake, undisturbed, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are very tender.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high (or leave the oven on).
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and peel back the foil so that the ribs are exposed. Using a basting brush or the back of a spoon, coat the meaty side of the rubs lightly with barbecue sauce. Place the slabs of ribs, meaty side up, on the grill and cook until the barbecue sauce is thickened and lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to bake the ribs, without the foil covering, until the barbecue sauce is thickened and lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes.)
• Plating / Assembly: Remove the ribs from the grill (or oven), and let them cool briefly. Then cut between the ribs and serve, with additional barbecue sauce on the side if desired.

SMOKEY J'S RIB RUB

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients.
• Rub well onto all sides of your ribs, pork, chicken or other meat.
• Grill or smoke your meat right away, or, for best results, cover and place in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
• This rub goes well with a little applesauce basted onto the meat during cooking. Use just enough for one light coating.

JIM'S "DON'T SPARE THE SPARERIBS" RIBS

Steps:

• At least the night before you make the ribs, if not earlier, combine the BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan.
• Simmer over medium low heat for 1/2 an hour.
• Chill overnight (keeps several months in the refrigerator).
• The night before you make the ribs, combine the spice rub ingredients in a bowl, and mix together well.
• Pat about 1/3 of the total spice rub on the top and bottom of the rib slabs.
• Allow to sit, refrigerated, overnight.
• The next day, about 5 hours before dinner, take the ribs out of the fridge, sprinkle top and bottom with about half of the remaining spice rub.
• Let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes.
• Take BBQ sauce out of refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
• Heat oven to 200- 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
• After the ribs sit at room temperature, put them in the oven on a large sheet tray, or indeed several large sheet trays if needed.
• Bake 4 hours.
• If the ribs start to look dry, baste them with a little beer.
• About halfway through cooking time, sprinkle ribs with the rest of the spice rub.
• about 45 minutes before ribs are done, brush with a fairly liberal amount of the BBQ sauce.
• Once ribs are done, baste them with more sauce, if you like.
• Let ribs sit 10 minutes before cutting into individual ribs, or 1/2 slabs, as I prefer.
• Serve with plenty of extra sauce on the side, and plenty of napkins.
