Texas Pork Spareribs
INGREDIENTS:
4 racks pork spareribs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup salt
2 1/2 tablespoons black pepper
3 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 cups ketchup
3 cups hot water
4 tablespoons brown sugar
pinch cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup soaked wood chips
DIRECTIONS:
Trim away any excess fat from ribs. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, the 1 teaspoon of the cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Rub spice mix all over the ribs. Place the ribs in two 10x15 inch roasting pans, piling two racks of ribs per pan. Cover, and refrigerate for 8 or more hours.
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Bake uncovered for 3-4 hours, or until the ribs are tender and just about falling apart fall apart.
For the barbeque sauce, remove 4-5 tablespoons of drippings from the roasting pans, and place in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion in pan drippings until lightly browned. Stir in ketchup, and heat for 3 to 4 more minutes, stirring constantly. Next, mix in water and brown sugar, and season to taste with cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, adding water if it gets too thick.
Preheat grill for low heat. When grill is ready, add the soaked wood chips to the coals or to the smoker box of a gas grill. Spray grill's grate with a coat of cooking spray. Place ribs on the grill but do not overcrowd. Cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Baste ribs with sauce during the last 10 minutes of grilling only.

Here's a great recipe for Beef Short Ribs. The trick to tenderizing the short ribs for this recipe is simmering them in beer. The beer also helps to give them a good flavor.
BBQ Beef Short Ribs
INGREDIENTS:
5 pounds beef chuck short ribs
24 ounces beer
Spicy BBQ Sauce (recipe follows), or your favorite bottled sauce.
DIRECTIONS:
Trim any excess fat from ribs. Place ribs in a Dutch oven or large cooking pot. Add beer to cover ribs. Bring to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for about 2 hours or until fork-tender.
Prepare outdoor grill to medium heat. Place ribs on grill; brush with half of reserved Spicy Barbeque Sauce for basting. Grill, covered, turning often and brushing with remaining basting sauce, for 15 minutes or until slightly crispy on the outside.
Heat reserved Spicy Barbeque Sauce for dipping. Serve with ribs.
Spicy Barbeque Sauce:
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon liquid hot pepper
Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. Reserve half of sauce for basting and half for dipping.

use a really good dry rub to cook the flavor into the meat..and then top it off with a great bbq sauce near the end to help keep it moist. also, slow smoking them will work best to keep the moisture in.
