LONE STAR SPARERIBS
Steps:
- The night before you plan to barbecue/smoke, combine the rub ingredients in a small bowl. Apply the rub evently to the ribs, reserving about 1/2 of the spice mixture. Place the slabs in a plastic bag and refriderate them overnight. Before you begin to barbecue, take the ribs from the refriderator and pat them down with the remaining rub. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes. Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature to 200 - 220 degrees. If you want barbecue sauce (wet mop) and it is thick, I add the sauce heavy at the beginning so that I cures intot the meat throughout. Transfer the meet to the smoker. Cook the ribs for 5 to 6 hours, turning and basting them with the mop about once an hour if required by your smoker design. Remember whether you are a fat side up or down smoker and place accordingly. The meat should be well-done falling off the bones.
LONE STAR RUB
A really nice tex-mex style rub by Jamie Purviance that's great on steaks. This makes enough for four good sized steaks, but I quadruple it and store it in a air-tight jar so that it's always handy.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for spareribs, but you can also use St. Louis-style ribs or country-style ribs. Baby back ribs are leaner and have a shorter cooking time, while St. Louis-style ribs are meatier and have a longer cooking time. Country-style ribs are the least expensive and have the most meat, but they also have the most bones.
- Trim the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the ribs cook more evenly. You can also trim off any excess fat.
- Season the ribs: Season the ribs with a rub made from salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, cumin, or oregano.
- Cook the ribs: There are three main ways to cook spareribs: grilling, baking, and smoking. Grilling is the most popular method, but you can also bake the ribs in the oven or smoke them in a smoker.
- Glaze the ribs: If you want to add a glaze to the ribs, do so during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will help the glaze caramelize and add a delicious flavor to the ribs.

Lone Star Spareribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a casual meal.
