Ingredients

  • 3 pounds pork country ribs bone on
  • 3 tsp Kosher salt
  • 3 tsp Fresh cracked pepper
  • 3 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tbsp Chile ancho powder

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix the spices above. Stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Lay the pork onto a baking sheet. Season the pork on both sides with seasoning blend. Let sit at room temperature for 25 minutes.
  • While the pork sits, preheat your outdoor grill. You will be cooking the pork indirectly. This means you will have one cool side and one hot side on your grill.
  • If you want to add some wood smoke flavor, make sure you soak the wood chips at least one hour ahead of time.
  • Since I grill with charcoal, I will lay a nice handful of the wood chips on the edge of hot coals nearest to where the meat will cook.
  • When ready, place the pork on the cool side, making sure you place the thickest pieces closer to the heat source. Close the lid and set your timer for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, rotate the ribs. If using charcoal, you may have to maintain a steady heat source by adding more charcoal. Once again close the lid and set your timer for 45 minutes.
  • When ready, transfer the pork to a disposable pan. Cover tightly with foil paper and place back onto the indirect heat side of the grill. Close the lid and set your timer for 45 minutes.
  • When ready, check the ribs for tenderness. The should be very tender when pierced with a fork or knife. If you like, you could baste them and quickly grill them on the hot side, direct heat on the grill. That is optional. Remove from grill, cover and let sit for 30 minutes.

Notes

To prepare in your oven, you will season pork as instructed. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place ribs in baking dish and cover tightly with foil paper. Roast for 2 hours. Uncover, raise oven temperature to 400 degrees and continue roasting for 35-45 minutes. Turn as needed. Baste with sauce if you like. remove from oven, cover and let ribs rest for 20-30 minutes.
