      Hands down, the BEST ribs I've ever made, The rub and the sauce compliment each other perfectly. I followed the recipe exactly except I used smoked paprika because that's all I had. Next time I'm going to finish them on the grill then decide which way to do it the time after that. Delicious!

      Should be more stars!! Additional stars for flexibillaty. Pork Ribs: Followed instructions for rub and sauce. Baked in the oven till tender with the rub. Then grilled to heat with the sauce. "Oh so good". "Great rub" and "Super sauce". Perfect Ribs. Chicken Brests: I had rub left over and used it for the brests. Grilled them with the sauce. Juicy and delicious. Shrimp: With the left-over sauce. Sprayed the shrimp with Olive Oil, seasoned with pepper, garlic powder & onion powder. Grilled with the last of the sauce. "Oh My How Good"!! Rub and Sauce have been added to my keepers. Thank you from the "bottom of my heart". DH and I can't wait for the next family "do".

      I ended up canning the sauce and making the rub for Christmas presents! It is nice to have a sauce that doesn't taste like the stuff you buy at the store!!!

      I followed everything to a T and as much as I wanted to love this recipe, it just didn't work for us. The sauce was actually better to me than the rub. It was just too spicy for the kids to eat. I wish I could give it more stars. Thanks, though.

      One word:AMAZING!!!! I followed the recipe closely except I didn't have liquid smoke so I left it out. The BBQ sauce is incredible. I usually buy "Famous Daves" BBQ sauce online but this sauce is even better. Thank you so very very much for the recipe.

      Followed your rub except for the cayenne pepper as I didn't want the heat with kids. I did use a smokey paprika and smokey pepper. Basted with beer (kids didn't notice..lol) and then finished off with BullsEye BBQ sauce. Cooked for 3 hrs at 250 and they were delicious. My SO told me to keep the recipe and not to change a thing for next time. My son said they were better then the ribs we get a Ribfest. Next time I will have to try the sauce. Thanks so much for a terrific recipe Jim.

      I have used the rub on my ribs 2 times already and i followed your cooking instructions as well. We used our favorite store bought BBQ sauce and they where falling off the bone delicous! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipe. I will eventually try your sauce and will update my review when I do so. Thanks again Jim!

      I only used the rub for our ribs and it was pretty tasty! I only rubbed them once and saved the remaining rub for some chicken later on. It definitely had lots of flavor and next time I will try the sauce. I baked them at 275 for 2 hours and then at 325 for another hour. They were very tender and yummy. I basted them in beer a couple of times during the cooking process. I will make these again for sure!

      I use the dry rub section of this for pork ribs and pulled pork. Fantastic. I started using this in October of 2004 and just realized I never rated it. Thanks for posting.

      I'm giving this one 5 stars because my wife loves them. I'm not much for ribs, but this one's a keeper. Next time, I'm going to try the rub and sauce on chicken! Thanks for posting!

      Update!!! The second time I made these I used the recipes BBQ sauce. INCREDIBLE!!!!! Do this absolutely fabulous recipe!!!!! These are AWESOME!!!! I swayed a bit from the BBQ sauce recipe since my family likes my sauce but followed the rub and recipe exactly after that. If you do anything, do the rub overnight because it makes a big difference. They are tangy and falling off the bone FABULOUS!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, Jim!!!

      These are some good eating! The rub and sauce is what I would consider to be the perfect combination for ribs, pork, or chicken! It's right here for the taking, so do try it!

      Really liked your method for cooking these. Really cut down the spice rub and only put on the ribs the night before. Did use my own BBQ Sauce. The ribs came out nice and tender. I did heat them under the broiler for a few minutes to give them a little crunch.

      I haven't made the ribs yet; they're marinating in the rub overnight. I DID, however, make the sauce ahead of time, as suggested bythe recipe. I love this sauce so much I don't even want to share it with my friends! After reading the reviews, I made a triple batch and it's a good thing i did or else my guests wouldn't get any! I would drink this stuff straight! It IS a bit on the spicy side, though. Perfect for me, but may want to tone it down for others. Will post more again after I actually have the ribs cooked, but wanted to say that this sauce is TO DIE FOR!! Thanks, Jim :)
