Hooray!  Spring has finally sprung!  You know what that means?  It's time to bust out the grill.  These perfectly grilled barbecue pork ribs are going to be your new favorite thing.

My hubby takes grilling pretty seriously.   In fact, we have 4 outdoor grills right now.  He loves to talk about direct and indirect heat, how you need to fan the charcoal, and how to get that perfect smoky flavor.

Guess what?  Grilling really isn't all that hard.  I'll admit that up until this year, I've left manning the grill up to the hubster.  I was intimidated.  Especially since we no longer use propane and only use a charcoal grill.  Fortunately with a few helpful tips and tricks even an amateur can master some perfectly grilled barbecue pork ribs.  Plus Smithfield Extra Tender Fresh Pork is so tender and juicy, anyone can grill these with confidence.

I decided to pick up 2 different types of the Smithfield Extra Tender Ribs on my latest shopping trip to Walmart - Smithfield Extra Tender St. Louis Ribs and Smithfield Extra Tender Spare Ribs.

Before I put my ribs on the grill, I like to slow cook them in the oven first.  For these ribs I lined a roasting pan with foil and coated the ribs with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.  Then I stuck them in the oven at 275 degrees for 2 hours.  While waiting for the ribs to slow cook, I made my barbecue sauce.

This barbecue sauce has tomato paste, honey, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, wostershire sauce ground mustard, and chili powder.  Yum!

Once the ribs were out of the oven and the sauce was made, it was time to light up the grill.  Here are a few things to keep in mind when using charcoal:

• don't use too much
• wait for your charcoal to ash over
• make sure the grill is not too hot before adding your meat

The sound of the sizzle when you add your ribs to the grill is one of my favorites.

I love brushing yummy barbecue sauce onto these juicy ribs.

After the barbecue sauce has had a chance to really glaze the ribs it's time to eat!

Perfectly tender and juicy, these ribs were so finger lickin' good that even my super picky toddler loved them.

So, I'm definitely ready for grilling season.  Are you? Check out this awesome video on how to make Smithfield Pitmaster Tuffy Stone's Back Ribs Chipotle Glaze
