Basic BBQ Fall Off The Bone Pork Ribs

How to make the best and basic fall off the bone bbq pork ribs, in under 2 hours.

Ribs are difficult, there is no other way to word it. Either they are tough and over cooked or almost perfect but not completely fall off the bone. I have tried so many different recipes from putting them in a slow cooker all day, to smoking them with the 3-2-1 process or the bbq for quick easy dinner. However after all my years of cooking ribs, I finally figured it out. One night while in a rush to figure out something for dinner, I quickly tossed ribs in a dry rub with a splash of Ginger Ale, wrapped them and tossed them on the BBQ. Walking away to do other things, coming back to find the best cooked ribs. This made me laugh because it was so easy and simple. When it worked out with the results I have been looking for, I felt I had to share it!

Ryan has been telling me that I over complicate some of my recipes. One of the few times I did not plan ahead, was short on time and just tossed something together. It worked! Proving my Dad's theory of "K.I.S.S." aka "Keep It Simple Stupid", could sometimes be right.

Basic is best for this recipe, items everyone has in their kitchen. Shorter cooking time with less work and a simple finish, gave us the best pork ribs I have had in a very long time. So here is how we did it!

You could alter this recipe and do it in a shorter time frame (30 minutes - 30 minutes - 10 minutes), however I found the best results with the time frame I have listed. This makes one of our favourite summer meals, that much better. Nothing beats ribs that are juicy, flavourful and fall off the bone.
