Preparation

Step 1

These classically flavored spareribs are good any time year.  Serve ribs with corn on the cob, creamy cole slaw and corn muffins.  Be sure to make plenty because these ribs will disappear quickly!

Preheat grill to medium-hot and then bring to 'Low' indirect heat.  Your goal is about 225F-250F degrees in the cooking chamber when the hood is closed.

Place rib-side-down (meaty side up) on grates with indirect heat and cook "low & slow" for about 2 hours - keeping the hood closed and disturbing the ribs as little as possible.  If you are unsure about the heat, you may want to check after the first 30 minutes to see if the ribs closest to the heat are cooking a bit faster - if so, rotate the location and continue to do so as needed.  You'll know when the meat is cooked because it will being to pull away from the bones.

During the final 10 minutes or so of cooking you may want to move the ribs over the source of heat and directly grill them just a bit as you brush on light coats of sauce to form a glaze and to crisp up the surface of the ribs.

While ribs are slowly cooking over the indirect heat, in saucepan combine ketchup, Worcestershire, cherry cola, vinegar, paprika, chili powder, pepper and onion. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally (use your side burner for this if your grill has one).
