Flavor Profiles

[aawa]

I've been trying to really put some heat on my spare ribs for my Mexican friends. I've tried several hot rubs and even included Seven Peppers seasoning to add extreme heat. The heat always seems to dissipate by the end of the cook, the ribs have a great flavor profile but are lacking in heat. I'm reluctant to simply dump cayenne pepper on the ribs in fear of turning them nuclear.

I would appreciate anyone's recommendation for a hot rub that will still be hot on ribs at the end of the cook.

Do what some bbq competitors do. Grind up something like smokin guns hot really fine and lightly sprinkle it onto the ribs after you sauce it.

Another thing is to spinkle it on the back of the ribs before you slice.

Smokin Gun's Hot is used throughout the bbq competition scene. You can also use just fine ground cayenne or chipotle powder instead of the Smokin Guns Hot.
