Best-Ever Barbecued Ribs for Dad's Day!

Bill buys his ribs from the local butcher ~ they’re perfectly trimmed and meaty.  

He had the butcher cut a rack of ribs in half and bought another half, making 3-half racks, being more manageable in cooking on the grill.

I know there is a plethora of barbecue sauces at the grocery store, but I’ve yet to find one that rivals making my own from scratch.  It's easy to make, it tastes better, I know exactly what's in it; why buy bottled?

There’s nothing like smoky juicy ribs ~ they smell and taste like summer all the way ~ great for any Dad on Father’s Day!

Let’s grill now!
