Well it happen to me - I tried making a new rub, and my wife (who hates spices) told me it was bland. Made me cry, then I tastested it, and all I tasted was sauce. A lot of work for nothing!

I recently cooked ribs and chicken like I did at my last Comp. Food was salty this time. It was not salty at the Comp. Have not figured out why yet

My Crocs are SWEEEET!, or so I've been told.
Only people who hate drums are the ones that don't have one!
When Brother Smoke gets a few calls at Viejas you will be making your own call....To Me!
I bet I can build a Manly drum in my new crocs.

First of all I am the Quincy of BBQ problems but they aint enough 411 to go on.

As a person that does an immersion now before ploppin his ribs on the smoker you can get excellent tasting ribs with little or no fanfare. Like another brother on here said... salty and pepper only.

Next.. I've seen your picture.... there is mo than enuff of Big Mista love to go round. Plus honestly, if you cater you could not make it if you couldn't multi-task.

I say its the rub... judging from your experience I doubt you would buy low quality meat (of course the packer may be off) and you obviously know how to make a fire and maintain it. If the textrue was spot on then I'd probably say enhanced meat was not the culprit... so... that leaves the rub, specifially the salt content. Salt is a carrier of flavor.

what was in your rub? did your salt ratio change? did you forget the "kirk" rules. You can add a ****pile of every spice under the sun and salt adds to thatg and carrys it.

PS if making two thinhgs were to blame gumbo, esp yours, takes more effort than the ribs.

OH and CHANGING salt grain size screws things up too.

Must've been the salt, I guess. I added all of the other flavors first and added the salt last. Direct opposite of what I usually do.

Worst part is he has a real cooker just a stones throw from his porch and wouldnt need that auto temp control thingy and electricity to make it work right

Oh man; out of order spice blending, what an amateur move. You really need to get your focus back. This could be a big problem
