What Kind Of Ribs Do I Use for BBQ Ribs?

I use baby back ribs. They are also known as pork loin back ribs, back ribs, or loin ribs. They’re called baby because they are shorter in relation to the bigger spareribs.

Each baby back rib rack averages 10 to 13 curved ribs that are 3 to 6 inches long and weigh about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds.

You could also use St. Louis Style spareribs but they are not as tender or lean but are less expensive.

How to Make Crock Pot BBQ Ribs

• Rub both sides of the ribs with a mixture of paprika, brown sugar, salt and pepper.  Just use your fingers to rub it into both sides of the ribs.

• Place your ribs into the crock pot with the meaty side against the inside wall.

• Cover the ribs with 2 -3 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce.

• Add the lid and turn the crock pot on low.  Let the crock pot ribs cook for 4-5. 
• Once the meat is falling off the bone, you know they are done!  Then remove them from the crock pot,

• Brush the ribs with more BBQ sauce.

• Cut the ribs apart using a sharp knife. Just cut between the bones into the meaty section.

I like to serve them with some BBQ sauce on the side for those who want more.

Throw your ribs and sauce in the crock pot in the early afternoon and you’ll have dinner ready when you are.  If the ribs are done before you are ready to eat I just wrapped them up in foil and put them in my oven at 150 degrees to keep them warm.
