Is it the sauce, the way it's prepared, the way it's cooked??

barbecue in Kansas City is dry rub-spiced, slow roasted hour after hour over a pit of hickory, and slathered up all around with some of the smoothest, richest, sweetly tangiest sauces in all the world. Thickest, too, for that matter. Traditional Carolina barbecue sauce consists of a mix of peppers in vinegar. Traditional Texas sauce takes a tomato base, thins it with Worcestershire and vinegar, and adds a lot more hot peppers.
But Kansas City took the best of both worlds, by putting in Midwest tomatoes and coming up with a sauce that doesn't fall off the meat into the fire. The result: a medium spicy, tomato-based sauce, with molasses for character and body, not just sweetness.

first the way its cooked. take garlic and onion powder salt and pepper, celery seed,and a little Cayenne and season the meat. on a low heat fire from real coals grille your ribs monitor the flame constantly. the trick is not to let the meat cook to fast. in the meantime soak some hickory and apple wood chips in water. after several hrs. when the meat is nice and tender stoke up your fire,then place the chips on the coals.put lid on and let smoke for 15 to 20 min. take lid off and baste meat with your favorite sauce.cook for few more min. and presto the best ribs you'll ever taste
