I've experimented with various methods to get the
ultimate spare rib and think this may be helpful for newbies and their cookshack. I think most rubs contain too much salt. I tend to prefer a sweeter rub but also like some salt taste. Rather
than add salt to the rub, I first rub some worchester sauce on the ribs followed by some Kosher salt to taste then I add the rub. This
gives a good balance of both the sweet and salt
taste. It also gives you an easier way to adjust
both of them.

Speaking of rubs.
I did ribs with 3 different rubs and feed my office staff of 7 people. They each had to try each one and tell me what they thought.

#1 the cookshack rib rub that came with my FEC, the consensus was it was middle of the road not relly spicy or sweet, kind of bland.

#2 the BRITU recipe (minus the MSG), most that was spicier and too salty

#3 rub recipe for Chris Lily's ribs DVD, was everyones favorite. Had a hint of spice and a hint of sweet.

All of the ribs were pretty good but everyone seemed to want the ones with more sweetness.

Anyone have any good rib rub recipes that seem to be sweeter than most?
I agree Qbert, I find most rubs too salty and when you add in the solution most of the ribs are packed with in the cryovacs you can wind up with a salty hammy tasting rib. Didnt seem to be so bad but I used the same ribs and rub and found out that this one batch of ribs must have had too much solution or something.

I have been using a more herbal approach and am using Mrs. Dash and some other non-salt spices and the ribs came out wonderful. I am using a less is more approach to spices overall in my barbecue.
