Going to do a bunch of Country Style Ribs for company on Saturday.
Thought I would run 250 dome to an internal of 130
then slather em with BBQ sauce and run em to 155
Anyone got any other suggestions?

    Here's what I have done for several years and everyone loves them. First season and sear them over direct coals until well browned on all sides. Now put your plate setter in an cool the egg to 325*. Put the ribs in a Dutch oven and cook for one hour. Remove the ribs, pour off the fat and cool the egg to 275*. Now place a bed of sour kraut in the Dutch oven and place the ribs on top. Cook for two more hours and cover them in your favorite sauce the last hour. The kraut keeps them moist, but imparts no flavor to the meat. If people don't like kraut, fine.......but it is wonderful with the pork fat and BBQ sauce mixed in!

    Meant to add that country style ribs aren't ribs at all, they are just cuts of pork shoulder. They need a braise to get them tender. You cook them to 155 and they will be a doggy chew toy.

    Here is one of our favorite fest cooks using country ribs. Never have any leftovers
    8lb of boneless country ribs 2 large sweet onions roasted 116 oz of jar of your favorite bottled BBQ sauce (I used I jar Bone Suckin regular and 1 of the hot) 2 bottles either Shiner Bock or good Stout Spices Equal amts of garlic powder, onion powder, Aw **** and Dizzy Evenly mix spices into the ribs and let sit at RT while egg comes to temp of 450. Place meat on egg and brown on all sides. While egg is cooling down place, placed sliced onions, and meat in a 9x12 roasting pan. Pour the sauces and the beer over the meat, seal tightly with HDAF. Set egg up for indirect cooking. Place roasting pan in the egg and roast for two hours. Test for fork tenderness after two hours. When fork tender, remove pan from egg set the egg up for direct cook. Remove meat from sauce place on egg for about 15 minute. Served with garlic bread and roasted cherry tomatoes.

    I agree browning first then brazing is the way to go.  Cooking to 155 ish will be as BOWHUNR said doggy toy.

  • If you put the sauce on to early you have a tendency to burn I usually put it on about 15 minutes ahead of time before pulling

    I love the "country style" with saurekraute , cabbage,onions and carrots, but it doesn't work well with a large group.  The above brase, then slow cook in a dutch oven is a winner, and nicely served with a large group of people.
