Beat me to it Steph :biggrin: BBS's sweet & spicy rub is just what you need!
Rub down with a mustard slather and sprinkle salt and pepper on them.:mrgreen:
Here's one that I like:
* 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
* 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
* 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon onion powder
* 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
After a generous coverage of rub, I put a generous layer of brown sugar on top of the ribs. Let them sit, covered, for about 30 mins. You will know that they are ready when the brown sugar layer draws the moisture out of the ribs and changes to a darker colored glaze.
Place ribs bone side down on the pit and don't flip them during the cook.
Don't let temps get much over 250 as the sugar can burn.
I second that vote for The Slabs - Kyle Style. I keep hearing about plowboys so that will be in my future too just for good measure. If you are parculiar about MSG, however, The Slabs does use it in their rub. I used to avoid it, but can't find anything that tastes or works better for a straight-up unsauced rib.Plowboys "Yardbird" is great on ribs, and so is Slabs "Kyle Style".
82Homework.... the coat of brown sugar sounds interesting. Actually firing up the smoker tomorrow--- might give it a shot.
