4 lbs. pork ribs (spareribs, baby loin back ribs, or country style)
Vinegar Basting Sauce
Barbecue Sauce

If using slabs, cut each crosswise in half. Place ribs in a shallow roasting pan; pour Vinegar Basting Sauce over ribs. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes for baby loin back ribs or 1 hour for spareribs or country style ribs, basting with vinegar mixture halfway through cooking time.

Drain ribs, discarding basting square. Grill ribs over low coals (275-300 degrees) for 15 minutes, turning after 8 minutes. Baste ribs generously with Barbecue Sauce; grill 8 minutes. Turn ribs; baste again with Barbecue Sauce, and grill 7 minutes or until done. Yields 4-8 servings.
