when to put sauce on my ribs??

Former Member

I am smoking some ribs to eat tomorrow. They should finish later tonight. I was going to wrap them in foil and throw them in the fridge. Should I put sauce on them before I wrap them up or when I am ready to eat them. Is there any difference in taste or tenderness. Thanks so much. Rib Head

No real difference in tenderness.

Only taste difference is the smoke and heat will have an effect on the sauce, either carmelizing any sugars or giving some smoke flavor.

If you're smoking them to eat tomorrow, just sauce them when you warm them up.

In fact, sauce 1/2 the rack tonight and the other half when you eat and see which way you like them.

I have 2 racks in so I will sauce one and leave one dry. Thanks for the replies, this forum is a great thing.
