National Barbecued Spareribs Day is a holiday that’s observed, appropriately enough, on the 4th of July every year. This is good for many people because they can knock out all of their BBQ-related holidays in one fell swoop.  And we can’t think of anything better than throwing some spareribs on the grill on this hot summer day.

Inexpensive cuts of pork ribs when cooked on the grill with some barbecue sauce are some of the most sublime dishes a person could ever enjoy. So, on this holiday, let’s all get together and enjoy a little bit of barbecued spareribs magic. Now excuse us as we enjoy a nice rack of ribs.

• There are four main types of pork ribs: Baby Back, St.Louis Style, Spare Ribs, and Country Style Ribs.
• Ribs should never be boiled.
• Spare ribs are cut from the belly of the pig.
