Hi all,
this is my first post here, but I have been reading the site for several months and bought a WSM about 5 months ago. I am doing the Basic Babyback rib recipe from the front page right now. I made a few changes and thought I might share them. First, I tripled the rub. I used aleppo pepper instead of chili, ground whole mustard seeds instead of coleman's, 1/2 black and 1/2 white pepper, Turbinado sugar(seems to not burn as much), and added 6 allspice berries. I ground it all up real well and tasted it. It has a real even flavor and not to hot. I am tring to not be so heavy handed with the rub, so I just sprinkled it lightly. I am bad with to much salt too.....!
I used 3 apple chunks and 2 red oak chunks. Ribs went on 20 minutes ago and I am not lifting the lid for 3 hrs...I use to be a peaker, but have learned fire management with my NB offset, so I am real comfortable not peaking anymore.
I have done mostly chicken grilling on the WSM, so this is my second attempt at ribs on it. Time will tell. I will try to get some photo's to post of the finished product.
