Just brought home my DBS this evening. ;D I had a delay getting it... but all good things come to those who wait. EARLY tomorrow morning I will season that bad boy and do some grocery shopping. I'm thinking about preparing some baby backs tomorrow for smoking. I am really anxious to get started... any ideas on rubs that I can use that I can be eating my 1st batch of ribs by dinner time? Or am I better doing the overnight wraped in plastic wrap seasoning/rub thing? Looking for any and all input on any and all parts of the process since I am a virgin smoker. :-\ (Be gentle...lol)
Phil,
The recipe site has quite a few rubs. I really like Jan's Rub, it is good on everything including rubs. My preference is to rub the night before but that doesn't always happen ;D

Jans rub is really good or you can do something very simple like , salt, pepper and garlic. A lot of time I just lightly season ribs, other times I add a bunch of cayenne pepper, depends on the mood.
I'm with Pens I can go with very light or heavy with the rub depends on my mood. Same with the overnight thing depends. You can also try Country Style Bonless Ribs.

Jan's rub is really good. It's a great rub. ;)
When I do ribs I remove the membrane and rub them down, preheat the Bradley to about 260 degrees. Once I load the ribs I adjust the temp to 220 and I begin applying about 3hours of smoke for my taste. I usually have the vent at least 1/2 open. You will probably want to do a rack rotation about halfway through. Once the 3 hours of smoke is complete I let them continue for 1 more hour without smoke. Then I put them into a foil roaster, add a splash of AJ, cover with foil and throw them back into the smoker at 220 for another 3 hours. After this I will put them on the grill just long enough to sauce them. They turn out very tasty and tender every time.

Thanks Mike... sounds like a plan. Looking forward to some good ribs.
