Hi All,
This is kinda of an old post but I thought it would be interesting to resurrect it regarding when to sauce ribs...
There is a rib joint in Chicago called "Carson's". Here they violate the principle rule of not putting sauce on the ribs by slathering the ribs with sauce before they even put them on the grill/smoker. Then they continue to baste the ribs with sauce throughout the cooking process.
So I tried it ensuring that I kept the temps low in my smoker. Surprisingly the ribs didnt burn and they came out great. I think a couple of people tried the method here on the forum a few years ago and reported good results too.
Chris Carson was kind enough to publish their method on their website at
Carson's How To page. They were featured on Food Network show and it was interesting to watch.
We had a few posts back in history on this subject as well:
Sacreligious Rib Challenge and
To Sauce or Not to Sauce...THAT is the question! Might be worth a try again...
