Rubs...Overnight or Few hours?

[Al Silverman]

Hi All
I woke up this morning needing ribs. I usually spice up the little "meat handles" at least 24 hours before they get the heat. I was wondering what the concensus was on whether rubbibg 2 or 3 hours before the meat sees the heat is good enough or should I rub today and "Q" tomorrow?

I don't think I can wait 'till tomorrow !!!!

Al,
I have done it both ways and could never really tell a difference!! If you woke up wanting the "little meat handles" (I love that)you should not deprive yourself or the WSM! What are you waiting for? Get the fire going!

Larry,
That's all I needed to hear!!!!! I'm on my way to the local meat emporium to pick up a "Slab O' Spares" !!!!!!

I concur with Larry. You can definitely get away with a quick rub. Have fun!
