One of our favorite wedding presents was a charcoal smoker that we got from my husband’s uncle. We had always admired his smoked salmon and turkey at Thanksgiving time and so when we got married he said he would get us one, and he did! My husband is getting pretty good at smoking things. The other day he decided to smoke some spareribs for the first time.
Grilling or smoking ribs isn’t as scary as it sounds. Really, the more you keep it simple, the more delicious your ribs turn out! Here is how we made ours:
Ingredients
- 4-5 pounds rack of Tyson Spareribs
- McCormick Sweet & Smoky Rub
- Kraft Mesquite Barbecue Sauce
- Hickory Chips
- Bottle of Beer (optional)
Directions
The first thing you want to do is to remove the membrane on the ribs. After that was done, we rubbed the entire rack of ribs front and back with McCormick Sweet and Smokey Rub.
Next, we filled a water pan with water, beer and about a cup of Kraft Mesquite Smoke BBQ Sauce (feel free to take a swig of your beer, smoking can take a while).
The actual smoking process takes about 5 hours at 200 degrees. We slathered on some of our barbecue sauce along the way to add some flavor. We used hickory smoking chips, but feel free to experiment with different types of woods.
After you pull them off the smoker be sure to add even more barbecue sauce!
Slice your ribs, serve with some sides, and enjoy!

On the grill, after being marinated.
First in the oven, then finish them on the grill and served with a side of potato salad!
I love to smoked them. But, usually I use a dry rub and bake or grill them until they are crispy and then use bbq sauce towards the end.
Spareribs with BBQ source does it all for me. You husband’s uncle is a pro at making the spareribs. They look yummy!

I love BBQ ribs on the grill!
we love to marinate them in bbq sauce first
I’m a big fan of the crockpot. I’d love to be able to smoke them, but don’t have time nor the tools to do it well. Crockpot + some liquid smoke and seasonings works really well for us.
I’m all for the crockpot too – so tender.
And I like Mesquite.
Thank you.
