I'm thinking of doing my fist batch of ribs this weekend on the WSM. I've seen some recipes which call for soaking the ribs in brine for an hour or two before applying a rub. Any of you veteran's have any thoughts about whether its worth the trouble?

Thanks
 
Although you can buy ribs that have been essentially brined-- the package will say "enhanced with a solution of up to..." and "guaranteed tender"-- you may want to just rub and cook them plain. You may end up with an undesirable "hammy" taste you weren't expecting.
 
I've never brined and they come out great (IMHO! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif ); I wouldn't worry about it.
 
I tried brining my ribs once, and even though I rinsed them before cooking they had a salty, hammy taste. Oh, well, you can't learn if you don't try anything new.
 
I Have never Brined and they all turn out fine
Gee almost makes me want to make up a couple of slabs this weekend /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif
