Smoked Country Style Ribs are readily available in the supermarket. They are a short cook and a great way to get some quick SmokeyGood-ness. They are not really ribs actually but still very yummy. Country-Style ribs are cut from the sirloin or rib end of the pork loin. The taste will be a bit more like pork chops rather than the flavor you would find in St. Louis style ribs.
Cook’s Notes
The meatiest variety of ribs, country-style ribs are sold either as “slabs” or in individual servings. These pork ribs are perfect for those who want to use a knife and fork. These smoked country-style ribs will benefit from dry brining so they will stay tender and juicy and not dry out during smoking. They are seasoned today with Flying Swine All Purpose Rub which adds a very nice combination of sweet and savory notes to the ribs. Are you a big fan of ribs of all kinds?
