How To Make Country Style Pork Ribs – A Make-ahead Recipe
Here’s why I love this recipe. The ribs are par-boiled stove top, then left to soak in a marinade sauce before a quick finish on a grill.
Stubb’s makes marinating an even easier task. No mixing or measuring, just grab a bottle of their Pork Marinade. This spicy blend of chiles, lime and ginger will give a kick to anything pig, from pork chops to tenderloins to ribs.
Marinate the ribs for 24 hours, or even better, two days. Using tongs, turn a few times during the marinade to coat with flavor.
The ribs are then easily finished on the grill for a quick slather and glaze with Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q sauce.
Make Ahead Country Style Ribs For Camping
Not only is this a great backyard grilled rib recipes, this is a super easy make ahead rib recipe for camping. Simple, here’s what to do.
- 24 hours before you’re leaving for your trip, par-boil the ribs for 20 minutes in a large pot on your stove-top
- Transfer the ribs to a couple of zip lock bags and add the marinade. I like to double bag them just to make sure they stay sealed. Or you can place them in a disposable roasting dish. Which ever method works best for you for transporting.
- Once at your campsite, throw the ribs on the grill and cook for 15 – 20 minutes basting liberally with BBQ sauce and turning frequently.
So pick up a package of country style pork ribs and a bottle of your Stubb’s pork marinade and bar-b-que sauce and enjoy an All-American platter of goodness this weekend.

I made these for dinner last night and we both loved them! I simmered them on Sunday, and marinated for 48 hours. They were so easy and really delicious. I love that the Stubbs products are gluten-free, as I have celiac disease. This recipe is now part of my regular rotation!

I love ribs!
I haven’t ever tried doing ribs this way but they look great so that might have to change!
Easy. Looks fabulous. I’m so trying this!!
Just in time for the 4th! You have to have finger-licking good ribs on the 4th.
Sounds absolutely so good, and your photo is sensational! Xo xo!
WOW~These are some good lookin’ ribs! I’ve seen Stubbs in the grocery store and I’ll pick some up! Thanks luv!
Oh man, campfire ribs look amazing. Must try.
Yum! I need to cook up some country style ribs! I always do the loin back ribs! Look delish!
Get that Traeger fired up.
Oh, yum! Love ribs. Any ribs. Even ribs done in the oven. But these Campfire Ribs look extra good. And Stubbs BBQ sauce is good stuff — it’s my go-to when I can’t find my regular favorite (from a Kansas City restaurant). Anyway, good post — thanks.
Would that be Gates John? I’m partial to KC flavors, but can’t find any here in Denver. Stubbs is my go-to.
Now I want me some ribs – looks delicious LA.
Get that grill fired up!
These Campfire ribs are right up my alley. A side benefit of these is making the neighbors jealous when that Stubb’s bar-b-q sauce starts caramelizing on the grill. 😉
Agreed! 🙂
This sounds great and Stubbs is the only sauce I buy. Lower in sugar than some of the other sauces. Read the labels. Love the wing sauce too.
I really like Stubbs. Great flavors and selection.
Thanks Dan.
How nice to win a smoker! I’ve been threatening to get one for years.
