We've been slowly working our way though the Oakridge Rub variety pack we bought to try out. This week, we tried the Secret Weapon Pork and Chicken Rub...
It passed the finger test. The rub has a nice sweet taste up front, BBQ spice in the middle, with a bit of heat on the back end. There was enough in the pack for 3 half racks of baby backs, so lets experiment!
Took the racks and removed the membrane from the back. Rinsed and patted dry, then a liberal coat of rub on the top...
Heated the Baby up to 250 F and added some Apricot and Hickory splits into the ash pan. Ribs went on the second rack down on a four rack Baby. This was two hours into the cook when I rotated the racks on the ends...
After 3:40 minutes, I put a thin glaze of Piper's Pit Hickory Apple Butter BBQ sauce on the ribs...
Piper's Pit is a local company that donates a portion of their profits to local charities. The sauce itself has a nice hickory taste, but not over powering. On the back end, you do get a taste of the apple butter. An overall well balanced sauce. Not too sweet with the right amount of spice. It is a house favorite around here.
After saucing, I let set for 20 more minutes on the Baby to set the glaze. Then pulled and let rest for 5 minutes...
After resting, here is the sliced product...
Nice smoke ring. Tender and juicy with that slight pull off the bone texture that I look for.
Served with a side of scratch made macaroni salad and we had a great meal during the game...
I didn't have enough buttermilk, or you would have seen some cornbread as well... ;)
Thanks for stopping by...
