Ribs wet or dry?

[Blindside17]

How does everyone prefer ribs?

I am not picky. I like both. I do have my own rub recipe and it is a secret. When it comes to sauce, I like Stubs (with some added ingrediants) or Sticky Fingers BBQ sauce.

 

[BAMAVILLE]

I eat both but I love the dry rub

 

[rolltide_21]

Yes.

I do too. It's so secret I don't know exactly what's in it. I make a base rub and keep in a giant spice container then dump any other rubs I get as gifts into the same container.

I’m not really joking You guys should try it. Rub doesn’t really matter that much, and I’ll die on that hill. It’s all about quality of meat and your smoke wood.

For me it is just kosher salt and 16 mesh pepper on beef and my mystery rub on pork. Really on Bbq rub the question is sugar or no sugar. If you cook hot or sauce with a sweet sauce you should leave sugar out of the rub. Just my $0.02

Dry, but I don't turn down someone inviting me over to eat BBQ that they're cooking and paying for.

Homemade Dry Rub, sauce of choice on the side

 

[BamaFlum]

Yes

I typically prefer wet. My favorite that I have found is the hot version of Head Country. However, I typically go with a Sweet Baby Ray's.

I did have some ribs a couple weeks ago from a local joint that was dry. They were the first ones that I had dry that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Everybody has different bbq preferences. I have been BBQ'n for over 25 years mostly backyard but have entered a few tournaments here and there with friends, just to say we did it. I enjoy and find appreciation in the different styles of bbq (including the sauces and rubs styles) and try not to pigeonhole my bbq options. I've cooked just about all major styles of bbq that are found in the United States and enjoy some elements of all of them.

Tried a place that I have driven by many times, but never tried. Herb's Rib Shack. Excellent ribs!

So think we've covered the wet/dry. How do you guys cook them?

I like a mix of hickory and apple/peach wood chunks with more of the fruit wood. I usually do 2h(unwrapped)-2h(foiled)-1h(unwrapped) and sauce that last hr. I don't touch them the first 2hrs. I'm not a spritzer. I see a lot of ppl mention 3-2-1, but I feel like they are fall off the bone when I've tried that (not in a good way.). St Louis style maybe I cook a little longer, but I'm almost exclusively a baby back guy.
