Wanted to try Oakridge Comp rub on a slab of ribs, and I just happened to have a couple of slabs in the freezer. Saturday was nice - in the 50's and just enough of a breeze to keep the smoke moving away.

Rubbed both slabs, one with Oakridge and one with my usual homemade rub, which is losing its appeal after comparing to Oakridge.

After three hours, I foiled them with a little apple juice. Wanted to keep this simple since I was comparing two rubs.

After foiling for a while, I put them over direct heat to get a little bark going.

Sauced a little, leaving a few bones dry to try the rubs side by side. Oakridge is a definite improvement over my homemade rub, which has always been a hit, but I want to up my game for comps this year.

Plated with some stovetop beans (last minute decision, so I didn't smoke them at all this time) and some slaw. I ate the Oakridge rubbed bones first, and ate them with my homemade sauce which is a pretty good combination. I am very impressed with the Oakridge rub! :clap:
