Well reheated ribs in oven wrapped in foil with a little apple juice. 350 for 1 hour. (Was afraid it might have dried out in gas grill). Using 10.5 recipe it calls for 1/2 cup of Kosher salt. I used Morton's canning salt instead. Ribs seemed a little salty but very moist. Does anyone know if the salts are close to each other? Could I just forget about using salt at all?

Canning salt is much more dense that kosher.

Here is a conversion chart http://www.mortonsalt.com/salt_guide/index.html#conversion_chart

You used roughly 1/2 again as much salt as you should have.

It would be ok to reduce the salt, but I would not eliminate it altogether.

Which recipe did you use? I don't remember putting one in the rib tutorial?

I used this one of yours 10.5. It is about 3/4 of the way down the page.

That one calls for 3 tablespoons of kosher salt not 1/2 cup. I was curious because I don't remember having any rubs with that much salt in them

Sorry 10.5. Went back when I got home to check my recipe it is from Bassman on the susan minor site;

NO that one is not what I used either. Here is my recipe and I made a note that I got it from one of yours 10.5 just don't know where yet. Does this ring a bell. I did cut back on the Cayenne pepper.
1/2 cup paprika (3 small bottles)
1/2 cup Kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup Granulated garlic (2.0z)
6 tbsp granulated onion Took minced garlic and chopped fine.
1/4 cup chili powder (2 small bottles)
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper.

OK sorry about that. Wanted to give you credit because it was good and moist just a little to salty for me and the wife.
