this is an excellent recipe. i have made it 12 times or so. i would suggest baking the ribs in the oven on medium heat for 20 minutes or so and then grilling them. very important to cook the ribs on low to medium heat. the recipe has been a big hit and the ribs definitely came out better when i put the rub on the ribs and let the ribs sit over night.

I am used to fall off the bone backribs, even cooking in the oven for 2 1/2 hrs at 300f with chicken broth prior to did not yield fall off the bone. I am also a fan of a more flavorfull rub but tried this one out to see. I can't imagine throwing these right on to the grill without cooking low and slow first. I will stick to my tried and true version from now on. Its not that they were chewy, but they did have to be eaten off the bone. Sorry, this one wasn't for me.

We baked in oven covered for 1 hour then transfered to the grill. My 10 year old made this rub,so very easy. Followed recipe almost exactly except used light brown sugar. Great tasting,tender,easy and definetly a crowd pleaser.
