Hey there-
I'm new to smoking ribs - for some odd reason I tackled brisket as my first BBQ conquest - and I have a question.
My first batch of ribs came out great. The rub was the prefect compliment to the smokeyness and the BBQ sauce finish. I used canola oil as a base for the rub.
My next few batches have not been as successful. All I'm getting is BBQ sauce and smoke. The rub is a faint taste, if it's there at all. I also happened to switch to olive oil on these two.
The question I have is... Could olive oil be sucking the flavor out of the rub when compared to the canola oil? Literally everything else is unchanged. Based solely on that, I would surmise that it's the olive oil, but that just doesn't make sense.
Id love to get some feedback from the board on this. Thanks!
