Smoked Pork Ribs — Tips, Recipes & Real Talk
Barbecue Ribs
Just uttering those two simple words can exert a powerful influence over many. For some, it brings back a flood of great memories — good times with friends and family. For others, those two words can make the mouth water and cause a deep hunger for great food. In still others (and you know who you are), Barbecue Ribs stirs up a passion that not much else can equal.
At Piggy Ribs, we believe the memories, the hunger, and the passion are what make smoking pork ribs — and eating them — enjoyable. In spite of the price of meat and the time involved, barbecuing and learning to do it better should be fun. Here you'll find everything you need: the right wood, a proper rub, the truth about sauce, and the patience to let low-and-slow do its thing.
