Pork Spare Ribs

solar oven ribs

4 to 4.5 lbs pork spare ribs (per cooking pot)
8 oz (or to taste) barbecue sauce

Prepare a spice rub – you can use this one, purchase one, or make up your own.

1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chipotle chili powder (this gives it the smoky flavor)
1 tsp cumin

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs; rinse and trim off larger pieces of fat.  Cut into thirds and liberally rub spices on all sides.  Place in baggies and put in refrigerator overnight.

Place ribs pieces into one Sport pot.  Add ½ can of Coke or Dr. Pepper (or any caramel colored carbonated soda).  Cook in Sport for at least 4 hours at 250 degrees.  When done, brush on BBQ sauce.
