Steps:

• Place the water, salt and molasses in a large 12-quart container and stir until the salt dissolves. Add the pork butt to the brine and weigh down with a zip top bag filled with 2 cups of the brine to make sure it is completely submerged in the brine.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove the pork from the brine, and pat dry.
• Heat the smoker to 225 degrees F. Add the wood chunks, and place the pork into the smoker. Cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, 4 to 5 hours.
• Once the meat reaches 140 degrees F, heat the oven to 300 degrees F. Wrap the pork in aluminum foil and transfer to a half sheet pan. Place on the center rack and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 200 degrees F and is tender and pulling apart easily, 3 to 5 hours. Remove from the oven and rest, covered for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• For the basic BBQ rub: Using a coffee grinder, grind the turbinado sugar with a few "pulses" until it is lightly powdered. Combine with the granulated sugar, salt, onion powder, granulated garlic, cayenne, black pepper, mustard, chili powder, cumin and paprika in a bowl and hand stir until well incorporated. Store in an airtight container.
• For the BBQ mother sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low if the onion is cooking too fast--you don't want it caramelized or browned. As the onion is getting close, add the garlic and cook until lightly golden, about 2 minutes longer. Add the ketchup, honey, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, dry mustard, cayenne and black pepper and stir well. Slowly add up to 1/2 cup water until the sauce reaches the consistency you like. A slightly thick consistency is best. Add about 3 tablespoons of the basic BBQ rub, stir well and taste. The sauce should have a good, well-rounded flavor. Add more of the basic BBQ rub in 1-tablespoon increments until your desired flavor is achieved, up to about 1/2 cup total. Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
• For the ribs: Rinse the ribs and remove the membrane from the back. Trim any excess fat from the tops of the slabs. Trim 1 bone from the large end of the ribs and 2 bones from the small end. This will give you a much more consistent slab for cooking.
• Starting on the backs, sprinkle the slabs of ribs with approximately 1/2 tablespoon of the basic BBQ rub each, then add 1/2 tablespoon yellow mustard each and massage into the meat. Flip the ribs over and repeat. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. For a contest, I marinate ribs like this for 12 to 16 hours.
• Prepare a smoker to run at 225 degrees F with around 4 chunks of apple wood and 4 chunks of cherry wood so that the wood will smolder throughout the cooking. Remove the ribs from the refrigerator, unwrap and repeat the basic BBQ rub and mustard procedure, massaging them in. Don't get it too thick or paste-like, as this will give you a dark appearance when cooked. Place the ribs in the smoker meat-side up and cook for 2 hours. Remove the ribs from the smoker and increase the temperature to 250 degrees F. Apply the basic BBQ rub and mustard to both sides of the ribs as before. On the top sides, slather approximately 1 tablespoon of honey over the surface of each slab, then sprinkle heavily with the turbinado sugar. Lay each slab of ribs meat-side up on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and fold up the edges. Pour approximately 1 to 2 ounces of the grape juice into the bottom of each foil package, then finish wrapping the ribs but don't crimp the edges--you want steam to be able to escape.
• Return the ribs to the cooker for 2 hours, then test for tenderness. (I cook ribs in this stage until they look overdone and too tender. Don't worry, they'll tighten up. If they still have too much texture, leave them in for 20 to 30 more minutes.) Remove the ribs from the cooker, open the foil and drain off the liquid. Using the foil as a tool, "roll" the ribs over so the bone side is up, glaze with the BBQ mother sauce, then roll them back over and glaze the tops. Using long tongs, carefully remove the ribs from the foil and place them back in the smoker for 15 minutes. This will let the glaze cook onto the ribs and let the ribs tighten back up. Remove from the cooker and allow to rest for 5 minutes, apply a very thin coat of sauce to "glisten" the ribs, then lightly sprinkle with chipotle powder before serving.

Steps:

• Season Ribs with Salt, Pepper, Granulated Garlic.
• Place ribs in a smoker, grill or a cook bone side down for 1 hour @ 300 degrees.
• Place all sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• After ribs have cooked for 1 hour baste with sauce.
• Repeat basting every 15 minutes.
• Cook for 3-4 hour or until done and tender.
• Enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 210 degrees F (100 degrees C).
• Sprinkle dry rub generously on all sides of pork roast and place meat into a heavy pan or Dutch oven.
• Pour 1/4 teaspoon of liquid smoke flavoring into each of two 6-ounce ramekins; fill ramekins with 1/2 cup water each. Place ramekins into the Dutch oven on either side of the roast. Place lid onto Dutch oven.
• Roast pork in the preheated oven until very tender, 12 hours. Remove roast from Dutch oven, place onto a work surface (such as a cutting board), and separate the meat from the bone using your fingers. Discard any large pieces of fat.
• Roughly chop pork with a large knife or cleaver; drizzle with 3/4 cup barbeque sauce. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Spread about 1 tablespoon barbeque sauce onto each bun and pile pork on buns to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange spareribs in a large, lidded roasting pan.
• Mix onion, ketchup, water, celery, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, Dijon mustard, and salt in a bowl; pour mixture over spareribs. Cover.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until pork is tender and sauce is thickened, about 30 minutes more.

Steps:

• Whisk together steak sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and water in a bowl until smooth.
• Place the pork ribs in a saucepan with a lid, and pour the sauce over the ribs. Spread raw onion rings over the ribs, and cover the pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and simmer the ribs in the sauce for 45 minutes, or until tender.

Steps:

• Place all ingrediants together in large roasting pa pan.
• Cut ribs apart for easier serving.
• Mix together making sure to coat all ribs with this wemi-dry paste.
• Spread ribs out evenly on bottom of pan.
• Cover tightly with foil.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 2.5 to 3 hours.
• Turning or stirring ocassionally.
• You can use th broiler for these ribs, just watch them very carefully, and adjust cooking time.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°.
• Cut ribs in half & generously apply rub on both sides, massaging it into the meat.
• Wrap each half tightly in heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Place each in a shallow pan with sides.
• Bake for 3 hours.
• Serve with your favorite sauce.
• NOTE: If you want them BROWNED, carefully remove the ribs from the foil. Place under broiler or on grill until desired, but watch carefully so not to burn -- 10-12 minutes each side should be sufficient.
• NOTE 2: If you want them SMOKED, carefully remove the ribs from the foil. Place on grill, using indirect method -- smoke for about an hour. I recommend Apple or Hickory.
• DO NOT soak wood chips/chunks in water! Wood doesn't absorb much water, so all you're doing is cooling off the coals.
• ENJOY!

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill to 225 degrees F. Carefully edge the coals to 1 side and then add 1/2 cup drained wood chips. Place 1 cup of water in metal drip pan on opposite side.
• Inject the pork butt with brine about every 2-inches and then rub with marinade and dust with Dry Rub. Place the pork on the grill, directly over the drip pan and cook. Be sure to replenish the coals as the temperatures drops, the chips as the smoke dissipates and the water in the drip pan.
• After 6 hours, spray the pork with Cider Mop every half hour. Cook until a thermometer placed into the thickest part of pork reaches 195 degrees F. Transfer to a platter, brush with the sauce and let rest 30 minutes. To serve, slice into 1/2-pound servings, place on plates and serve with extra sauce alongside.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl until the salt and sugar dissolve and then place into meat syringe for immediate brining or reserve, refrigerated, for later use.
• Place all ingredients into a blender and puree. Remove to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until needed.
• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well and store in an air tight container for later use.
• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well to combine and store in the refrigerator until needed.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan set over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned and crispy, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the onion, garlic, onion power, garlic powder, black pepper, and cloves. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the sugar and water and then bring to a simmer. Stir in the ketchup, mustard, honey, preserves and juice and then simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and season with the vinegar. Remove the bacon with a spider and discard. Puree the mixture with a hand blender and then cool and reserve for later use.

Steps:

• Slice between the bones to cut each rack into two equal portions. Brush ribs with marinade. Transfer ribs to a Dutch oven; drizzle with any remaining marinade. Add enough cold water to cover the ribs. Set the Dutch oven over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer ribs, partially covered, for 1 hour or until fork tender; remove ribs. Preheat grill to medium. Brush ribs with half of the sauce. Grill ribs, turning and basting frequently with remaining sauce, for 20 minutes or until ribs are very saucy and tender.

Steps:

• Line a 6x9 baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Combine the sugar, salt, pepper, and spices.
• Rub the mix into the meat and set aside.
• Mix the 1 cup of Honey, Vinegar, Worcestershire, jalapeño, and liquid smoke in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave bowl for one minute.
• Drizzle the mixture over the ribs and cover with a sheet of foil. At this point you can refrigerate this up to two days.
• When ready to cook, insert the baking dish into a cold stove then turn the temperature to 200 deg F and let cook for 4 hours.
• When the meat thermometer reads 165 remove the top layer of foil and drizzle the remaining honey over the ribs and sprinkle with a dash of kosher salt. Turn the oven to broil and cook the ribs till the honey bubbles slightly.

Steps:

• Preheat a gas grill for high heat, or arrange charcoal briquettes on one side of the barbeque. Lightly oil the grate.
• In a small jar, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Close the lid, and shake to mix.
• Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, and snip off the membrane as much as possible. Sprinkle as much of the rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. To prevent the ribs from becoming too dark and spicy, do not thoroughly rub the spices into the ribs. Store the unused portion of the spice mix for future use.
• Place aluminum foil on lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups. Lay the ribs on the top rack of the grill (away from the coals, if you're using briquettes). Reduce gas heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift the lid at all.
• Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, and grill an additional 5 minutes. Serve ribs as whole rack, or cut between each rib bone and pile individually on a platter.

Steps:

• Heat greased grill to medium heat.
• Grill ribs 10 min.; turn.
• Brush with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Grill 12 to 14 min. or until done (145ºF), turning and brushing with remaining barbecue sauce after 7 min.
• Remove ribs from grill. Let stand 3 min. before serving.
