Directions
Transfer the ribs to a large non-reactive glass or ceramic dish pour 2 cups of Coca-Cola or Dr Pepper over them. Reserve the third cup of the soda for a sauce to be made later. Let the ribs marinate, tightly covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated, overnight. About 6 1/2 hours before you plan to serve the ribs, start a fire in your smoke/cooker and begin heating a quantity of coals. Then turn your attention to the sauce. Pour the remaining 1 cup of soda into a blender or food processor and measure in the catsup, brown sugar, chili powder, pepper, dry mustard, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and well blended. No need to cook this one, as least for now. Add some well-soaked aromatic wood such as hickory or mesquite to the glowing coals in your cooker. Set a pan filled with hot water in place, and smoke cook the ribs, covered at 220 to 240F. for about 3 hours. After this initial smoking, turn the ribs, slather them with the sauce, check the supply of wood and water in their respective pans, and continue cooking for another 3 hours, this time turning the ribs every 30 minutes and mopping them with sauce each time they’re turned. By the end of the 3 hours, they should have long since reached the internal temperature of 160 to 170F recommended for pork. After the last basting of the ribs, tote the remaining sauce inside and simmer in a medium-size saucepan over low heat until quite thick. Serve the gloriously gooey sauce in dipping bowls with the finished ribs.

Directions
The day before cooking: Cut ribs into portion size, salt and pepper. Place in deep pan, big enough to hold ribs and sauce. Mix soy sauce, marmalade, plum jam, garlic and ginger. Pour over ribs. Cover with foil (airtight). Put in refrigerator overnight. Next day, stir and mix the sauce and ribs well. Cover with foil (again, airtight). Cook in the pan on the grill for 3/4 hour or until tender. Take out, put on grill rack and brown. Takes only a few minutes.

Directions
Cut spareribs crosswise into 2-inch pieces and separate. Arrange with chicken wings in roasting pan. Mix oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, seeds, cumin, salt and garlic in processor to blend. Pour over chicken and ribs. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally. Prepare barbecue (low heat). Grill chicken and ribs until crisp and cooked through, brushing with marinade and turning occasionally, about 45 minutes. Serve immediately.

Directions
The day before grilling the ribs, put the sugar and vinegar in a pot large enough to hold the ribs and place over medium heat on top of the stove. Cook until the vinegar reduces and forms a syrup with the sugar, about 8 minutes. Watch carefully, as the syrup will suddenly darken in color. Immediately add the broth, water, catsup, tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire, cloves, chili powder and pepper and bring to a boil. Add the ribs and cook 20 minutes. (If using chicken, cook for 10 minutes.) Remove from heat, remove the ribs from the liquid and place covered in the refrigerator. Cook the liquid over medium heat until it becomes thick and syrupy. The next day, light a charcoal grill. Place the ribs on the grill so they are not directly over the coals and cover the grill so that smoke collects inside. If your grill does not have a cover, improvise one out of aluminum foil. Cook for 40 minutes, basting with barbecue sauce every 10 minutes. When ribs are well heated, remove to a platter and serve. Offer any additional barbecue sauce on the side.
