Steps:
- Rinse the ribs gently under cool running water in the sink and pat dry with paper towels. (See Notes)
- Rub the country-style ribs with a dry rub of your choice, using your hands to press it onto the meat so it will adhere. Let them sit out on the counter while preheating the grill or for best results, cover the ribs with plastic wrap refrigerate for two hours or overnight.
- Light a chimney full of charcoal. When the coals are lit and gray with ash, pour out the coal into the grill and set up the coals for a two-zone fire for indirect heat. Preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Place the ribs over direct heat on a clean and oiled grate. Grill until golden brown with a slight char on them, about 3 to 5 minutes (depending on size), then flip the ribs and char the other side for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
- When both sides of the ribs are charred, move them over to the cooler (indirect) side of the grill. Close the lid and allow the ribs to cook for about 20 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Add charcoal and adjust the vents of the grill to maintain temperature.
- After 20 minutes, check the temperature of the ribs with an instant-read thermometer. The thickest part of the ribs should read somewhere around 135 to 140 degrees F.
- At this point, move the ribs back over direct heat and baste with warm barbecue sauce to caramelize the sauce. It's important to pay close attention not to let the ribs get to charred and black.
- Double-check the temperature which should be at 145 to 150 degrees F before removing from the grill. Remove them and allow the ribs to rest at least 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and trim any excess fat cap (an even layer of thick fat) from your boneless country style pork ribs as needed.
- Season both sides of the country style ribs with salt and pepper, then arrange them on a couple of sheets of aluminum foil (large enough sheets to wrap around your pork ribs and seal securely). Place the foil with the ribs into a baking dish or onto a rimmed baking sheet.
- Create the 'pouch' around your seasoned country style ribs, pulling up the sides so it will hold in the liquid, then pour the apple cider vinegar over the ribs. Seal the aluminum foil securely.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 2 hours or until your pork ribs are fork tender (small 4 ounce ribs may cook quickly, and large 10 ounce ribs may take a bit longer).
- Remove from the oven and open the aluminum foil carefully (vent the steam away from your body!). Transfer the pork ribs to a clean sheet of aluminum foil and drain the fat from your baking dish or sheet pan, then discard the used aluminum foil.
- Move the ribs back into your baking dish and coat all sides of the pork ribs generously with the BBQ sauce. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven when done and allow the pork ribs to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Slather with more BBQ sauce if desired.

BBQ COUNTRY RIBS
I created this country ribs recipe many years ago when I adapted a sauce I saw in a magazine. The original called for much more oil. I usually triple the sauce and keep some in my freezer to use on chicken, beef or pork. -Barbara Gerriets, Topeka, Kansas
