Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C). Season the pork ribs with your favorite dry rub or a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let the ribs sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ribs

    Place the ribs on the grill or smoker, bone side down. Cook for 3-4 hours until they reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C) and are tender. Optionally, baste with barbecue sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Additional Meat

    While the ribs are cooking, prepare the additional meat of your choice (brisket, chicken thighs, or sausage). Season and cook them according to your preference, either on the grill or in the oven.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sides

    For the coleslaw, mix shredded cabbage and carrots with mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and pepper. For the baked beans, heat canned beans in a pot and season with brown sugar, mustard, and bacon if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the ribs and additional meat are cooked, slice the ribs and serve them alongside the meat and your prepared sides.
