Notes

Pork - You can use bone-in country style ribs or boneless for this recipe.
Beef - You can adapt this recipe using beef ribs.
Dry Rub - You could use a prepared dry rub that you enjoy for a time saver.
Barbecue Sauce - Use your favorite barbecue sauce. I recommend using a thick, sweet and smoky bbq sauce.
Brown Sugar - Dark brown sugar has a stronger molasses flavor. You can use light brown sugar, if preferred. I've also use Splenda brown sugar substitute with great results.
