I have been looking at all of these rib posts and decided that I would give ribs a whirl. I had bought some so so St Louis spares on sale at a local grocery store for about $6 per rack. So they seemed like a perfect candidate for play time. For this cook I decided that I would coat the ribs overnight in brown sugar ala the Cookshack videos. I then rubbed the ribs with Butchers honey rub. I cooked them without foil for the entire cook (approx. 4 hrs at 250 deg). At that point I painted on on some TPJ apple cherry hab rib candy and here are the results.
It was a nice change of pace to have ribs with a light glaze instead of the bbq sauce. The rib candy did add a bit of heat but combined with the honey rub and brown sugar made the ribs a little bit too sweet.
