Sticking agent for ribs - Page 2

Grizzly6 · 01-28-2013, 07:31 AM

I mostly use the cheap mustard and then rub right before I place them on the drum. I sometimes let them sit for about 30 minutes prior to cooking. I would not let them sit overnight with the mustard on them.

I like the ideas in this thread and might try them soon.

Thanks for the idea's.

Olive oil.

Nothing for me, I just apply the rub directly to the ribs.

I've done mine with and without the mustard, didn't really see any advantage to the mustard. Anymore I apply my rub within a couple hours of the cook, seems to work good for me.

being on this topic lately I decided to put some vegitable oil on ribs (only oil I had). I dont know, I think it did something possitive but the one thing I noticed was one rack was almost completely void of a smoke rin and the other 2 racks were very lacking in ring.

coincidence?

Interesting topic. I headed to work this morning only to find a slow day...Temps are supposed to hover around 70 here at home so I headed home and just threw the ribs on the smoker! I haven't been doing this too long but have always used mustard. I decided to follow a few others this time and go simple: salt, pepper, and a dash of rub.

I have always used "Brown & Spicey mustard" coated on the ribs then my rub this is how someone had suggested it to be done! I was watching BBQ Pitmasters the other day and a guy out of KC add yellow mustard on top of the rub?? Of course he did not do very well.

Yellow mustard sometimes. But not overnight.

I use the cheapest vegetable oil i can find at the store. Been doing it this way for quite a few years now.

BAD324 · 01-28-2013, 12:05 PM

I've always done just the rub. I've done it the night before and I've done it shortly before throwing them on the smoker with similar results.

Never tried using a sticking agent. My experience is it has never been needed.

I would suggest you NOT let your rub sit overnight. It will solve all your problems with bark.
