Second smoke in model 50 was baby back ribs from costco. The three racks were a total of 7.2 pounds all about the same size. I tried a different rub on all three racks. I put the rub on then foiled the smoker put in my wood then put the ribs in. The rub was on for maybe fifteen minutes before going in and turning on smoker to accidentally 130 degrees. Reset that to 230 after about a hour yes stupid mistake but won't happen again. Reset timer for 3 hours and put on some bbq sauce only on the top then reset timer for 35 minutes. The ribs came out just right nice look meat was tender not dry.
Now my problem is each of the racks of ribs was very spicy. I put enough to cover the meat on both top and bottom but do not think I overloaded them by any means. The rubs I used were Stuubb's bbq spice rub, everglades cactus dust, and Emeril's rib rub. I would not think any of the three would be so overpowering. The spots that had the bbq sauce were about right but I would like to not have to put sauce on everything to make it taste good.
So my question is that this does not seem right does anybody have a suggestion for the overpowering spice rub?
I did not find a similar topic and have been reading these forums for the better part of three weeks to try and learn prior to getting started. Sorry for the long post just trying to give as much info as possible.
