Instructions

For the Dutch Oven

  1. Begin heating coals.
  2. Season ribs thoroughly with sweet rub.
  3. Slice into 3-4 rib portions.
  4. Pour ¼ cup BBQ sauce in the bottom of a deep 12-inch dutch oven. The ribs will not fit in a shallow dutch oven.
  5. Layer the rib portions, the BBQ sauce, and the soda, ending with BBQ sauce on the top layer.
  6. Cover with lid.
  7. Place about 20 coals on top and 20 coals underneath the dutch oven.
  8. Cook for about 1 hour to 1 ½ hours, checking your heat after 15 and 30 minutes to make adjustments.

For the Oven

  1. Preheat oven to 300ºF
  2. Prepare ribs in dutch oven as directed above.
  3. Bake in the oven until the meat starts to pull away from the bone and the ribs are tender, about 3 hour to 3 ½ hours.

Notes

  • If you want a smoky flavor, you can add a bit of liquid smoke to the sauce or use smoked paprika.
  • The rib tips can also be cooked in the oven at 325°F for a similar result if you'd rather not use the stovetop.
  • For a deeper flavor, sear the ribs in the Dutch oven before braising. Heat the Dutch oven over medium-high heat with a little oil (vegetable oil, olive oil, or canola oil) and brown the ribs on all sides. This caramelization creates a richer flavor.
  • Use a combination of liquids to braise the ribs: A mix of broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable), a little apple cider vinegar (for acidity), and your favorite BBQ sauce or tomato paste will create a flavorful base for braising.
