Meal No. 282: Country-Style Pork Ribs with Apple-Bourbon Barbecue Sauce

Tonight's grill specialty was made using a recipe from Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q, with locations in Decatur, AL, and in humble Monroe, NC. I got ahold of country-style Boston Butt pork ribs that were thick and meaty (and on sale at the Harris Teeter, which is how I like it). They've got a great spice rub on them and they were cooked on the grill with some hickory wood chips smoking, just to up the flavor a bit.

Here's a shot of them after they got the rub-down but before I put them on the Weber.

After they were done, they showed themselves to be worthy of repeated appearances here at the Roediger House. They were delicious. And the apple-bourbon barbecue sauce, which tasted a bit too apple-y to me when it was stewing on the stove, proved to be both a tasty basting for the grilling meat, and also a lip-smacking sauce to spoon over the cooked ribs at the dinner table.
