NEVER Boil Your Ribs Again - Try This Old RANCH Trick

Two bad racks of ribs, and they are the same mistake. One goes black on the outside while the middle stays tough. The other one went into a pot of water first, came out soft, and tasted like nothing. My mother cooked spare ribs on an open fire in the Big Hole for a haying crew, and she never boiled one and never burned one. The whole trick is where the coals sit, and one thing she laid on top that nobody lays on anymore.
