Brown sugaring ribs - max time between sugar & smoke?

maxqMember

Any downside to applying a layer of brown sugar to St. Louis's 12 hrs. ahead of smoking? I normally do so about 3 hrs ahead of time. Was planning to season with rub about T-minus 3 hrs.

I smoke SLS's at 275...just worried about over coloring them.

I've heard of a comp cook wrapping them in plastic wrap with brown sugar overnight. Can't say I've done it, but let us know how it works Max.

Fast Eddy recommended it. Not sure if he still does it.

Length of time is a function of matching your rub flavor and cooking temp. Dark brown will have a different taste & impact than light brown.
