St. Louis-style ribs are king. They are the most flavorful cut of ribs.

Ribs should have a nice smoke ring and pull clean off the bone.

Ribs should not fall off the bone. If all of the meat slides off with the first bite, they’re too tender. I call that pulled pork with a bone. Judges are looking for a bit of bite to the meat. If the meat doesn't pull away from the bone, it's undercooked.

When smoking your ribs remove the membrane from the back of your ribs. It will help them pull from the bone more gently. No one wants to chew on the plasticky back skin.

Sauce should be applied toward the end of cooking. Ribs swimming in sauce after they are cooked in a choice but not necessary.

While there are many variations in cooking a pig, it basically comes down to this: Thoroughly season the meat side of the pig with salt. Fire up the pig cooker to 225 degrees. Place the pig on the grill, skin side up, and cook at 225 –250 degrees for about 6-8 hours.

Mission Barbecue

There is nothing more American than BBQ, so the Owners of BBQ chain Mission BBQ decided to combine America's favorite food and a way to honor American Heroes...

Went to Smokey Bones in Virginia. If you get the chance stop by and get the ribs. They pull cleanly off the bone and taste great.
(never eat fall off the bone - thats just pulled pork)
Many locations.
