Show-Me Mo Ribs

[Bob Correll]

Missouri, the Show-Me State, rib cook.
Spare rib slab from a hormone free, pen raised hog.
It comes from a local farm, just a few miles from our home.
One half rubbed with Blues Hog rub (Perry, MO) the other half with Strawberry's Shake on BBQ Seasoning (Holcomb, MO).

On the WSM with apple and pecan wood.

About ready after 5 hrs. running at 230-245 hood.
One half (for my wife) sauced with SBR, the other (for me & son) with Blues Hog sauce.

My plate with some mayo slathered, dusted with Old Bay, corn (good stuff Jim L!) and spuds.

Sloppy last pic, but very good eating!

What can you tell me about both of those rubs? Taste, heat , spice , sweet - I'm looking for a diff. rub for pork butts.

By the way the ribs look awesome - great pics.

Michael,
I really like the Blues Hog rub for pork.
It contains salt, sugar, paprika, chili powder, black pepper, mustard, onion, garlic, ginger, cumin, and herbs. A bit of a bite, but too much.

The Strawberry's is good, more mild, and a bit salty for my tastes, but maybe I hit it too hard on the ribs.
