1 Medium Bottle of Ketchup

The Rub
Mix all ingredients EXCEPT for the salt and pepper.

The BBQ Sauce
In a medium saucepan, reduce the root beer. Cut the orange in half and squeeze the juice into the root beer-not the seeds. Place the orange rinds in the root beer and let boil. Do the same with the lime and lemon. Chop the garlic and add to the liquid. When the root beer has reduced, mix in the brown sugar and ketchup. Let thicken.

THE RIBS
Season the ribs on both sides with the salt and pepper. Then coat the ribs with the rub on both sides. Place the ribs on a pan and let sit for approximately an hour. After this time, pour the marinade into the pan with the meat and leave in the refrigerator, ideally overnight.

Once marinated completely, put the pan on the grill ( or in the oven) for approximately 1 to 2 hours. Remove the meat from the pan and put them on the grill, meat side down, over medium to high heat. Cook for a minute or 2, then lower heat and flip the ribs over and stack them. Let cook for another hour. While cooking baste the ribs in the BBQ sauce.
