Sugar in rubs for PBC
« Reply #-1 on: May 12, 2018, 11:33:20 AM »
What are the group's thoughts on sugar in rubs for the PBC due to the higher temps it runs at as compared to a "traditional" smoker? 

I have made/used Meathead's Memphis Dust and completely skipped the sugar for fear of it burning in the cooker (especially since it seems like a lot of sugar in the recipe).  Ribs/butts are good, but seem to be missing the sugar, or the flavor needs rounded out somehow.  I typically do not sauce the ribs while in the cooker, or afterwards, just a preference.

I can close the tamper on my PBC to run at a steady 220F so I have no problems. It all comes down to knowing your cooker  ;)
