I just used my new WSM for the first time. I cooked spare ribs and utilized the 3-2-1 method. This was also the first time that I have used foil when smoking ribs. I smoked for 3 hr, put the ribs in the foil along with a little apple juice, sealed tightly and put back on the smoker for 2 hr. At the end, of the foil time the meat was coming off the bone. I probably went too far in the foil, but that's the way I like it. Iput the naked ribs back in the smoker for about 30 min.
My question is, I applied a spice rub the night before which I could barely taste. Was all the steaming in the foil washing it off? Should I just apply the rub heavier in the beginning, or should I put additional rub on sometime during the cooking proccess?
Thanks.
