Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Cut each rack of ribs in half along the bone so they can be easily stacked. Lay them out on the parchment paper in which they were wrapped for easy cleanup.
- Salt and pepper liberally on both sides and pat spices into the meat. Make sure to over season the ribs, because part of the rub will inevitably come off in the pan. On a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil, stack the ribs close together, about 3 layers high. Place in the oven for 2 hours, shifting the bottom layer of ribs to the top every 30 minutes until they are tender and almost falling off the bone.
- One half hour before serving, transfer ribs to a preheated grill (if using coals, make sure they have burnt down to an ember). Brush ribs with Espresso Sauce and close grill. Continue to turn and brush the ribs with sauce every 10 minutes, about 3 more times.
- Fresh ground black pepper
- Mash garlic with the side of a knife and then mince finely to release oils.
- Add olive oil to a preheated saute pan. Add the garlic and saute until it gets light brown, about 1 minute. Add cider vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, and honey and stir well. Add a pinch of grey salt, then whisk in the coffee. Add freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Let cool and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

CHERRY BOMB BARBECUE SAUCE
Though barbecue is my cooking passion, I'm not really much of a believer in barbecue sauce. When I make barbecue, I prefer to let the smoke do the talking, not the sauce. But this cherry-based sauce I concocted is pretty darn good - and pretty hot.

SWEET BAR-B-QUE SAUCE
I usually don't measure anything, so if it is too tangy add more ketchup. If it isn't sweet enough add more brown sugar. If it doesn't have the bite you want add a little more Worcestershire sauce, but just a note ketchup will always calm it down , Worcestershire will always give it bite & brown sugar will always sweeten it up for you. Make it your own.

SWEET BABY RAY'S BARBECUE SAUCE (COPYCAT)
A copycat of the famous Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauce. In my experience there is little to no need for the cornstarch slurry, but it's there as an optional step in case you want your sauce thick. Personally I just use a little of the slurry because the 10-15 minutes simmering time would already reduce the sauce and it would continue to thicken while cooling.

- Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until sugar has dissolved.
- Combine the cornstarch and cold water then mix well to create a slurry. Add slurry to the sauce to thicken. (optional).
- Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until desired thickness, is achieved.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality baby back ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and have good marbling.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and will also make them more tender.
- Season the ribs liberally with a rub made from brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the ribs.
- Smoke the ribs over indirect heat at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.
- Baste the ribs with Cherry Bomb Bar-B-Que Sauce during the last hour of cooking. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the ribs.
- Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or baked beans.
