So Im going to try out my new smoker this weekend and want to smoke some ribs. Ive made ribs on my WSM at least 100 times the same exact way since I bought it back in 2005 and they've always came out great but since Im using a new smoker I want to try something different.
What I normally do is apply the rub, wrap in saran wrap and let them sit overnight in the fridge.
This time I'm thinking about soaking them in an apple juice/apple cider vinegar/Sprite mixture overnight then applying the rub the next day right before I put them in. Anyone ever tried anything similar to this?
Something else I was pondering...applesauce. Some people use mustard as a "glue" to help the rub stick. Since pork and apples go together like beef and potatoes, I was thnking about trying applesauce as a "glue" for the rub instead of mustard. Has anyone tried this or is it a horrible idea? There has to be some use for applesauce with ribs.
