Ribticular test

KevinG · April 29, 2010, 12:24:30 PM

Well I'm finally going to break down and make some ribs in the Bradley. I've got some new stuff to test out, so here's the plan.

Got me some Pork Loin Back Ribs

Did some peeling

Here's the test. Got some Pitt's and Spitt's Mesquite Barbecue Spice from CRG and a sample packet of some Tasty Licks Ribit Rib Rub from when I got my Bear Paws.

Decided to try both on the same rack, but separated them. The Tasty Licks is on the left and Pitt's and Spitt's is on the right.

All sealed up in saran wrap waiting for tomorrow.

Cool Kevin!

I can't wait for the results.

Well you are quite the mad scientist, you devil you. ;D

KevinG · April 29, 2010, 12:32:20 PM

Yep, going to have to bring my hungry hat too, cause nobody's going to touch these until I figure out which is best.

If I were you I would hold off on making a decision until you've had a proper sample, say an entire rack or so ;D

Lookin' good Kevin. What kind of smoke are you going to use?

KevinG · April 29, 2010, 01:15:07 PM

Well, since I've got the mesquite rub, I'm thinking I probably should go with mequite wood, but I'm not sure if that'll be too overpowering. What do you all think?

ArnieM · April 29, 2010, 01:22:26 PM

Sounds good. I'd just cut the smoke time down some.

Or you could use Apple to soften the flavor of the Rub.

Ok, off we go. Since I only got two responses, and ran out of apple doing my javelina, I guess it's going to be death by mesquite. Might as well do the full 3 hours worth too. Gotta go sometime. ;D

I thought it was a given to use HICKORY with pork!!! But that's just me you can have the messy wood ribs.

Sure, now you chime in, after the smokes rollin. Darn, guess now there's going to have to be a second experiment. More ribs, boy what's a guy to do.

The M.......M......MM word is even hard to type :D

The Tasty licks is from Freds, its his house rub and pretty good.

KevinG · April 30, 2010, 11:17:43 AM

You guys may knock mesquite, but it sure is putting a nice smell in my house. I hope you're right on Freds, if it's good, I'm buying a bunch more.
