I know this is a ribs recipe, but I was wondering if you think it would work with a boneless pork roast about the same weight? Would I have to cook it longer or less? I want to try this, but I do not cook ribs very often, but I can do a pork roast all day long. I can try this to see how it turns out, but I would like to make it as a roast and the ribs to see if I like them the same or not.
