What kind of smoker are you using?

- Remove the membrane
- Light coat of olive oil to get the rub to stick
- Apply rub (can wait for about 1/2 hour to let the rub soak in)

I use Sweet Rub O' Mine supplemented with brown sugar for a rub.

Time will vary with type of rib and temp (I shoot for 225+/- 10 degF).

Spare: 3-2-1
St.Louis: 3-1.5-0.5
Baby back: 2.5-1.5-0.5

First number: hours bare
Second number: hours (spritz first with apple juice and) wrapped in tin foil
last number: hours bare

I prefer pecan but fruit woods are good with pork as well.

ETA: meant to ask "smoker" not "smoke."

Guys, thanks a ton. This is really the best board on here. Everyone helps and yall have shown me a lot.

That said my friends are cheap asses and wouldn't kick in the funds for some quality ribs at the meat market so I am going with the ever-so-reliable butt. Just really wanted to smoke something tomorrow and watch gameday. It's become a new tradition.

But I am bookmarking this thread for when I get friends to bankroll my smoker-expeditions!

And alwys, I prefer hickory. I am a real big fan of vinegar based food. My butt is currently sitting in a pot of carolina vinegar sauce, some of the meat markets rub (you could put that stuff on shite and it'd be great) and then covered it in saran wrap. Last time I let it just sit in a pan and idk if it got enough of marinading so I went with the wrap this time. Hopefully it's not overpowering.
