If you think that great barbecued ribs are best left to expert pit masters with highly specialized smokers and super-secret spice rubs, think again. Not only will this recipe will turn your standard charcoal or gas grill into your own barbecue "pit," but our unique outdoor-indoor technique shaves a lot of time and effort off the traditional barbecue method. Memphis-style spareribs are dry-rubbed, wet-mopped, sauce-free ribs that are barbecued until tender, but not to the point where the meat falls off the bones. During the low-and-slow cooking, the ribs form a "bark"—a crusty outer layer that's appealing both to the eye and the palate. These ribs are more savory and more serious than the sticky, sugary, saucy ribs that many of us have to come think of as "barbecue." After a smoke-filled stint on the grill, the ribs are moved to the oven to finish cooking. In a couple more hours—faster than you can get to Memphis (unless you live in Tennessee)—the ribs are ready!
