BBQ RIBS WITH COLA SAUCE
With it's sweet caramel flavor, cola is just begging to be made into a barbecue sauce! Root beer and Dr. Pepper works well too. You can use your method of cooking the ribs instead of the '3-2-1 method' presented here, but try it if you haven't already. The mustard paint does not actually give the meat a mustard flavor in the end, but it does enhance the flavor of the meat, as well as seal and moisten it and act as a glue for the dry rub.

Steps:
- Place the wood chips in water to soak for an hour. If using a gas grill, soak 2/3 (4 cups) of the chips, otherwise soak all of them for use on a charcoal grill.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This is easy to do by using a paper towel to get a good grip on the membrane at one end of rack with your fingers, and then simply peel it off. You may need to use a knife to get it started.
- Combine and mix mustard paint ingredients in a small bowl and slather it completely over both sides of the ribs.
- Mix the dry rub ingredients well with your fingers in a small bowl, then sprinkle onto both sides of the ribs.
- Prepare the grill for indirect cooking - for a gas grill only turn on the burner on one side turned and the grate above it removed. Preheat to 225-250°F.
- For a gas grill you will make two smoke pouches. Divide the soaked wood chips onto two seperate sheets of aluminum foil at one end of each one after squeezing out the excess water from the chips. Divide the dry chips and add them to each pile. Mix the dry and wet chips up a bit and fold over the other end of the foil to meet the end the chips are near, crimp along the edges to seal all around and poke holes into both sides with a fork. Repeat to create the other pouch. Place one of the smoke pouches directly over the hot burner. Close the lid and wait for smoke to start.
- For a charcoal gill, simply squeeze out the excess water and add half of them directly onto the coals after they have turned ash white.
- Place the ribs on the "cool" side of the grill and then close the lid. Cook for 3 hours. Replace the smoke pouch (or add the rest of the wood chips onto the fire bed for a charcoal grill) after it stops smoking, about an hour.
- After they've cooked for 3 hours, completely wrap up the ribs tightly in foil wrap and return them to the grill and close the lid to continue cooking this way for 2 hours. You may add some more dry rub at this point to intensify the flavor more.
- In the meantime, add sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and continue to simmer for 30 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- After the ribs have cooked for 2 hours wrapped in foil, remove them from the foil and return them to the grill. Be careful moving them because at this point the ribs are quite tender and can break.
- Continue to cook for 1 hour, hence the term '3-2-1' (hours for each step of cooking). Baste with the cola sauce during the last 20 minutes.
- Remove the ribs from the grill (they will have firmed up after this last hour of cooking in the open again and will be much easier to handle). Let them rest for 10 minutes before cutting up into individual ribs.

COCA-COLA BBQ SAUCE FOR RIBS
I love the sauce used on these BBQ'ed ribs, as does everyone that has tried them. I use the Country Style Pork Ribs and I prefer cooking them on the grill using indirect heat for hours, but I have used the oven as well. I mop the sauce on often and generously. I serve the sauce on-the-side as well. Recipe Origin - Jim Budros

Steps:
- Make the barbecue sauce: Bring the cola to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Cook until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne and 2 teaspoons paprika. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Preheat a grill to medium and prepare for indirect grilling: On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side; on a gas grill, turn off half the burners. Combine 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon paprika in a bowl. Rub the salt mixture all over the ribs. Remove 1 cup of the barbecue sauce to a small bowl; brush over the ribs.
- Wrap each rack of ribs separately in foil. Put the racks, overlapping if necessary, on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat). Cover and cook, flipping the ribs after 30 minutes, until just tender and beginning to pull away from the bones, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Remove the ribs from the grill and carefully unwrap; pour any juices into the pan with the remaining barbecue sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Increase the grill heat to medium high. Brush the ribs with some sauce from the pan and grill over direct heat, flipping every 5 minutes, until glossy and crisp at the edges, about 20 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a large cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Cut the ribs between the bones and serve with the remaining barbecue sauce.
- If you're making the ribs on a charcoal grill, you'll need 3 to 4 pounds of charcoal. Add several new briquettes to the coals every 30 minutes to maintain the heat.
SWEET COLA RIBS
The Neelys say, "These ribs will blow you away. The smoke and indirect heat leave you with deliciously tender ribs while the cola packs a punch of unexpected sweetness. Our secret is removing the fatty membrane from the ribs before cooking and glazing them to sweet perfection at the end of the grill time. Perfection!"

- if wanted for a dip, reduce down until thick , if your doing it as a cooking sauce. just add to your slow cooker (for eg.) and cook along with your choice of meat, then when the meat is cooked remove it and sieve the sauce back into your large pan. reduce to a nice pouring thickness and pour over meat. then put in the oven on a med/high heat until dark and sticky.
- goes excellent with pork spare ribs in a slow cooker on high for 5 hours.
Tips:
- For fall-off-the-bone ribs, cook them low and slow. A good target internal temperature is 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a variety of spices to create a flavorful rub. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cola. Dr. Pepper and root beer are both good substitutes.
- Baste the ribs with cola sauce every 30 minutes or so to keep them moist and flavorful.
- If you're using a grill, cook the ribs over indirect heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
