    Looking for ribs with "bite"

    I have been using the BRITU rub but each time adding a bit more brown sugar because I thought that was what I liked... Well, I this past time I think I finally realized it wasn't brown sugar I was missing, it was the kick, or bite to the rub. I get enough sweetness from the sauce and like it...

    first attempt at smoking, rub recommendations please

    Ok, so this weekend I will do my first smoker. Last week my buddy smoked some ribs and I couldn’t believe what I was missing out on (used to do them on my grill via indirect heat). So, yesterday I bought my WSM 18.5 ’09 off drugstore.com (great price). Well, even though mine doesn’t come till...
