OK you gurus... I'm looking at a recipe I'd like to try from Danny's link and I'd like some input before trying.

Here It Is

quote:
Ribs - Danny's Pork Spare Rib Rub & Finishing Sauce

1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon cayenne
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon white pepper
1/2 cup paprika
1 cup brown sugar
***FINISHING SAUCE***
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup mustard
1/3 cup brown sugar

This may be a little hot for some folks, so one may want to reduce thecayenne a little...but that's the way they like'em out here. I believe thebrown sugar is a must, and when it caramelizes, it produces that rich darkcherry-red color, plus it taste good! After the ribs come off the pit,baste them with a quick coat of an old Southern recipe for finishing saucefor an added deeper, richer, cherry appearance, and flavor. Sauce shouldbe more on the thick side, than thin. Apply with a pastry brush 2 or 3inches wide. Must be brushed on AS SOON as the ribs come off the pit, noteven 2 min. later...immediately. This lets it burn in, and will give thema shinny, glazed appearance, and turns them into an even deeper cherry-redcolor. I love that color. If the color is not deep enough, add more brownsugar.

NOTE - Danny updated his glaze to be 1/4 cup mustand, 1/4 - 1/3 cupvinegar, and 1 cup brown sugar.


I think it's obvious (?) that this is done on a logburner and wonder how it might work on an 008 or AQ. Sounds great.. but.. the question I have is where he talks about the rub caramelizing.. I don't think that will happen (?) in the CS because we are cooking ribs at a bit lower temp and high moisture.

What do you think???

Well,Danny is a fine ol' "coonass" and very sharing on his research over the years.

He used to cook on a Cookshack,and he may have been using a JR when he did this.

He cooks on moist cookers and likes to cook slow.

I don't know what your particular questions would be about his recipes,or glaze.

Either CS will carmelize sugar,and melt the glaze on.
Yep, it's great that he does that sharing. I didn't think 250 was hot enought to do the caramelization.. thianks. Hee hee.. he's a coonass translated to N.M. as it appears. I'm a coonass translated to arrrggghhh.. Calif.

That WAS my question.. if, as he suggests in his recipe, that caramelization is important.. I didn't know if the CS would do it.

I tried emailing him about this.. but the link didn't work..
I've used his finishing sauce a lot and like it....sometimes I just get tired of the same old BBQ sauce.....his simple sauce is just right for me!! love it!!!

Thanks, there is some good info here Tom.. My only question was about Danny's rub and whether the 008 got hot enough to carmelize (not just melt) the sugars. It doesn't seem like 250º would be hot enough to do that. I tried emailing him but the email link must have changed cuz it bounced.

When I saute veggies or grill them.. my assumption (?) is that the food temp is much hotter than that when carmelization takes place. I know, assumptions are dangerous. Eeker
