Made the Slow-Cooker Memphis-Style Wet Ribs recipe from Cook's Country today. Used Sweet Baby Ray's for the sauce instead of making my own. Turned out amazing though!

What BBQ-related recipes have you tried or eaten this summer so far?

There literally is no such thing. “Memphis style” ribs are dry ribs, not sauced. Also, Memphis is known for slow “smoked” ribs. It is impossible to smoke ribs in a slow cooker. As a result, there is absolutely nothing about this recipe that is even remotely possible to call Memphis style.

They can be dry or wet. This has a base of the dry rub. Title specifies wet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis-style_barbecue

Memphis-style barbecue is slow cooked in a pit and ribs can be prepared either "dry" or "wet". "Dry" ribs are covered with a dry rub consisting of salt and various spices before cooking and are normally eaten without sauce. "Wet" ribs are brushed with sauce before, during, and after cooking.

Memphis-style barbecue is mostly made using pork.

I'd love to try them slow smoked, eventually. I totally want a smoker at home. But for me, the slow cooker was accessible. I finished it on a charcoal BBQ for the final 20 minutes per rack.
