Can you apply BBQ sauce to porkribs after they are done cooking?!

You can. Ideally you want to put the bbq sauce on about 5 minutes before taking them off the grill. Makes the sauce sticky, but its not on long enough to burn.

If you put on sauce while they are cooking, the sauce may burn on. It's best to wait until the ribs are done cooking and then lower the heat and baste a few times on each side while you watch the ribs carefully. I like to baste with beer and seasonings and maybe some lemon or lime while the ribs cook. I'm assuming you are BBQing. I don't see that ribs will be done in 1 hour unless you are using very thin cuts. A couple of things to remember when you use old cook books. . .I think I have the one you have. . .look up the Scottish Shortbread recipe. . .back to tips. . .ribs were cut differently years ago. . .maybe it's where I live now. . .don't know. You could get an entire side of ribs or ribs with all the bones. Now it seems you only get the top part of the bones and the entire rib tips (the grissle but good stuff). That part takes a long time to cook. Find just the bottom part of the ribs if you can. When I can get those, they are usually thicker than they used to be. And years ago they didn't know the danger of under cooked pork.
Best to cook ribs very slowly so they don't get too done on the outside without getting done all the way through and that helps cook out a lot of the fat. Baste the skinny part with some type of basting sauce so it doesn't over cook and get dry and tough. When the ribs are done, baste with BBQ sauce and let cook on. . .doesn't take long. . .turn baste, turn & baste until the sauce is the thickness you like. Back where I moved from ribs were sliced and dumped in the sauce but I don't like that much sauce anymore so I go for the thinner amount of sauce.
Hope this helps.

As someone else answered, you can put BBQ Sauce on about 5 minutes before you take them off. Much longer and BBQ sauce can burn because of the sugar in it. I also recommend a good rib rub prior to putting them on the grill and then BBQ sauce that last 5-10 minutes.

Absolutely.

Many people use a dry spice rub on the ribs and then add the sauce just a few minutes before they're done. BBQ sauce has lots of sugar and it will burn/char if you put it on the pork before cooking.

One exception: you can oven-bake ribs in an oven bag (turkey bag) in BBQ sauce. The meat will be falling off the bone tender.

barbecuing is the method of cooking slowly over indirect heat.The sauce has nothing to do with it.I prefer to dip my ribs in sauce as I eat them.Most bbq restaurants serve meals that way,with the sauce on the side or in a squeeze bottle on the table.

Yes, of course. But ideally it is best (taste wise) to have the sauce on the ribs prior to cookie them.

Yes, definitely. For better results, put the sauce on when they are almost done and finish them off in the oven with the applied sauce.

Yes you can. Once you do let them cook just a few minutes longer.

yea, they actually taste better if you put the sauce on immediately after cooking
