Had so much success with the STL ribs a couple of weeks back, I decided to do them again, now that DW is back in town. This time, I used a different rub, actually one from my work. They put up recipes of whatever they're cooking, and you can grab them and take them home if you like. Well, they had a Carolina pork rub that looked real interesting. I'm providing it as percentages because their industrial measurements are weird to use for home use (5/8ths cup, etc)
Making this is really easy, but you'll need a scale. Suggested application rate is 8.6g/lb of ribs. 10lbs ribs = 86g of rub. Multiply 86 times all the percentages above and you'll have the grams needed of each ingredient. You can also make up a bulk batch of 500g, same thing, multiply 500 times the percentages above and weigh it out.
So, the verdict...how did it taste? Well, it tasted really good! The 4Rivers rub I got from Stingerhook has a nice hit of Cumin in it, and so does this rub. It's almost the same thing, not quite, but close. It's a very good base to start tweaking from.
So. Pics. Yes. I've got 'em. I applied Worcestershire to stick down the rub, applied at suggested rate, cooked at 275° straight through on the PG1000. Applied a mopping sauce twice during the cook. Total cook time was 5.5 hours.
Really, really good result. I'm a big fan of Meathead's Memphis Dust, but I think this has it beat!
