Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ribs:

   • Begin by trimming any excess fat from the pork country ribs, ensuring they are of even thickness for consistent cooking.
   • To prevent uneven cooking, consider scoring the meat lightly with a sharp knife.

2. Marinate the Ribs:

   • In a large baking pan, pour cider vinegar over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
   • Sprinkle the ribs with garlic salt and finely ground black pepper for seasoning.
   • Allow the ribs to soak in the marinade, ensuring all sides are covered. This step enhances the sweetness of the meat.

3. Fire Up the Grill:

   • Prepare a moderate hot fire on the grill, placing it a couple of inches or more from the meat.
   • Add hickory chips to the charcoal to infuse the ribs with a delicious smoky flavor. Be cautious to prevent flare-ups that could affect the taste.

4. Grill the Ribs:

   • Once the grill is ready, place the marinated ribs on the grill grates.
   • Cook the ribs, turning them often to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning. Do not cover the grill during cooking.

5. Timing is Key:

   • Pay close attention to the cooking time, as it determines the doneness of the ribs.
   • Aim to remove the ribs from the grill one minute after they are cooked to perfection, ensuring they are browned and tender.

6. Prepare the Special Sauce:

   • In a saucepan, combine Open Pit Barbecue Sauce, A-1 Sauce, and molasses.
   • Heat the sauce over low heat until it reaches a slow boil, allowing the flavors to meld together.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the ribs are cooked to perfection, serve them hot off the grill with the warm special sauce on the side.
   • Alternatively, for a saucier option, coat the cooked ribs with the warm special sauce before serving.

8. Storage and Reheating:

   • Any leftover special sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for future use.
   • When reheating, simply warm the sauce until hot and pour it over leftover ribs for a delicious meal.
