BEST BARBECUED ROOT BEER RIBS

Steps:

• For Ribs:
• Rinse ribs if needed and pat dry. Remove sinew from back. Place meaty side-up onto a large piece of heavy duty foil that has been sprayed in the center the size of the ribs.
• In small bowl mix together the Dry Rub ingredients until very well mixed. Dump half of it onto the ribs and pat on evenly. Turn ribs over to bone side-up, and coat bone side with rub well, too. Bring up sides and ends, pour in half (1/4 cup) of the root beer into foil pouch lifting ribs up so it gets underneath. Drizzle rest (1/4 cup) over top of ribs, then roll down sides of foil to just touch ribs, then roll up ends to seal. Be careful not to tear foil! Place foil-wrapped rack of ribs onto foil-lined large baking sheet. Let marinate for several hours or overnight, or just bake now.
• Place into preheated 300º F oven and bake for 2½ hours. (Make sauce while ribs are baking).
• When done, remove from oven. Remove ribs carefully from foil onto another foil-lined baking sheet bone side-up. I do this with large grilling spatulas for ease. Turn oven up to 350º.
• While oven temp is rising, coat bone side with half of the sauce. When oven is done preheating, pop back in and bake for 3-5 minutes until just bubbling.
• Remove from oven, turn ribs over, coat meaty side with rest of sauce, pop back into oven and bake again until just bubbly, another few minutes. Watch so that they don't burn!
• Cut into pieces and let rest a few minutes before serving as sauce will be very hot.
• For Sauce:
• In medium saucepan, add all sauce ingredients except butter, stir well to mix. Heat over medium-low heat until simmering. Simmer for about 5 - 8 minutes, stirring, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. Cover and set aside.

• For the root beer BBQ sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the onions and cook until soft. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the paprika and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the root beer and cook until reduced by half.

Add the lemon juice and zest and season with salt and pepper.
• If using the kamado-style ceramic charcoal cooker: Remove the grill grate and ceramic plate from the cooker. Add the hot hardwood charcoal and scatter the soaked hickory chips over the top. Adjust the cooker to maintain a temperature of 225 to 250 degrees F. This temperature should be maintained throughout the entire smoke. Put on the ceramic plate. Put a disposable pan with some steaming liquid on the plate, and then put on the grill grate. Brush the ribs with some canola oil. Put the ribs on the grill, cover and cook until the ribs are tender and juicy, about 2 hours. Brush with the root beer BBQ sauce, turning occasionally, during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
• If using charcoal, set up the grill for direct and indirect heat. Brush the ribs with some canola oil. Start the ribs as above over indirect heat. Finish the ribs by moving them back over the hot coals and turning and basting with the root beer BBQ sauce for 15 to 20 minutes.

BEER RIBS

Steps:

• Combine the light brown sugar, smoked paprika, celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, 2 tablespoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of the rib racks.
• Wrap each rib rack in 3 pieces of aluminum foil and refrigerate for 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place the ribs side-by-side on a baking sheet. Unwrap the foil slightly, pour 2 tablespoons beer over each rib rack and then seal the foil tightly. Bake until the ribs are tender, and the meat can easily be pierced and pulled away with a fork, about 2 hours 30 minutes. Let cool, uncovered, until warm, about 20 minutes. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
• Put the shallots and remaining beer in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil until the beer reduces to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the ketchup, molasses, whole-grain mustard, chipotle in adobo sauce, chopped chipotle and sherry vinegar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and reduces to about 1 1/4 cups, 8 to 10 minutes.

• Brush the top of each rack of ribs with 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce. Working in batches as needed, grill, sauce-side down, until browned and slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Cut the ribs between the bones, slather with the remaining 1 cup of sauce and serve.
