    Want it for the smoker,grill or oven? How much time do you have? I ask bc the smoker and the oven take over 5 or 6 hours.

    :mad:Great pics - that brings back great memories. I used to smoke all the time - then kids came. My 12 yr old daughter is a picky germ-a-phobe and my 7 yr old son isn't a big eater. My wife has decided red meat is bad for you, so I usually cook for myself...:mad:

    I have a Weber Smokey Mountain (large size) - never gets used... Need to sell it and make room on my patio...

    Advice to all: 1) Never get married and 2) Get a vasectomy NOW!

    I use this or a variant of it:

    1/2 cup dark brown sugar
    1/2 cup paprika
    1/3 cup garlic salt
    2 tablespoons onion salt
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
    1 tablespoon black pepper
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 1/2 tablespoons white pepper
    1 teaspoon cumin

    Rinse the ribs and liberally apply rub on the meat side of the ribs. Let them sit in the refrigerator overnight. Smoke them for 3-4 hours then wrap them in foil with some juice in the bottom (apple, grape, or a mix of the two) and put them back in the smoker for another 1 -1.5 hours so they simmer in the juice. Then take them out of the foil and back in the smoker until they reach temp or look like they've crisped up again.

    As much as I like the idea of a homemade aspect of cooking the premade dry rubs are really good as well. Look for Jake's Grillin Pork rub, it is all natural and super good. I used it already on ribs and pork shoulder.

    I even use less of the onion salt than it calls for. I'd rather have my stuff on the under-salted side of things FWIW.

    It called for Onion powder vs salt, so I guess that was the trade off.

    My children and myself liked the wings, but they were REAL salty and spicy. They took on the flavor big time.
