Hot & Spicy Spareribs

Spareribs are "Bigger" than Babyback ribs. If they are cooked just right - they will melt in your mouth - fall off the bone just as good as babybacks will. Some people prefer Sparerib Slabs over Babyback Racks - "Me" I like both - but I tend to lean more toward Babyback - but if you are going to feed a lot of "hungry folks" Slabs would be better. (This recipe is for the Grill) Use Hardwood or Lump Charcoal - You can also use a gas grill just add wood chips for the smoke flavor that "Everybody" loves.
