Country Style Pork Ribs

Jump to recipe

These country style pork ribs are rich, savory, and built for long, low-and-slow cooking over real charcoal. Smoked until tender and packed with bold rub flavor, they’re the kind of ribs that pair perfectly with a cold drink and something salty on the side. Simple prep, long cook, big payoff.

Why Cook Country Style Ribs with Lump Charcoal?

Lump charcoal burns clean and hot, delivering deep, natural smoke flavor over long cooks. It’s perfect for low-and-slow recipes like country style pork ribs, helping render fat, build bark, and keep the meat juicy without overpowering it.

Instructions

  1. 01

    Divide the pork ribs into two equal portions. Generously coat half of the ribs with the Heath Riles Pecan Rub and Heath Riles Cherry Rub. Season the remaining ribs with the Smoke and Freedom Smokey Barnyard Rub and B’s Home-Run Habanero Rub.

  2. 02

    Light Char-Griller Natural Lump Charcoal and bring your grill or smoker to 250°F using indirect heat. Maintain steady airflow for consistent temperature throughout the cook.

  3. 03

    Place the seasoned ribs on the grill away from direct heat. Close the lid and smoke for 8 hours, maintaining a steady temperature.

  4. 04

    Continue cooking until the ribs reach an internal temperature of 205°F and probe tender. The meat should be soft, juicy, and easy to pull apart.

  5. 05

    Remove the ribs from the grill and let rest briefly before serving. Slice, pull, or serve whole — these ribs don’t last long.
