Pork Country Style Rib Burnt Ends Recipe

Burnt ends are one of the most amazing types of bbq food you will ever try. Usually made from the point of a brisket they are crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside and bursting with flavor from the rub and sauce applied to them. If you don't have time to cook a brisket I have found that you can make burnt ends using pork country style ribs that taste almost as good as the real thing and require far less time.

4 lbs Pork Country Style Ribs
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Honey Hog BBQ Rub (feel free to substitute with your favorite pork seasoning)
1 Cup BBQ Sauce

Instructions

Preheat your smoker or grill to 225 degrees (if smoking I would reccomend fruit wood or hickory)
Remove ribs from package and pat dry with a paper towel
Apply oil to all sides of the ribs and then apply the seasoning to all sides of the ribs as well
Put ribs over indirect heat and allow to cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees (usually takes 3 - 4 hours)
Remove ribs from indirect heat and chop up into inch by inch cubes
Place chopped up ribs into an aluminum pan and apply another layer of rub to the ribs
Pour BBQ sauce over ribs and mix.
Cover aluminum pan with tin foil and place pan back on smoker to cook for 1 hour. Internal temp should be about 185.
Remove aluminum foil from tray at this point and allow burnt ends to cook for another 30 minutes to allow sauce to thicken up
Remove ribs from grill
Serve and enjoy!
