Cheech and Chong
Got Wood.
I just cooked 3 racks of spares. They came out pretty good but there was a lot of hard bark. Not burnt, just hard and chewy like. Could it be all the sugar involved?
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
After applying a heavy dose of this rub I add John Henry's cherry rub and wild cherry chipotle rub to the ribs. The John Henry rub is sugar and brown sugar. The last 30 minutes I sauce with Blues Hog.
Is the sugar causing the hard bark? I would like the ribs to be softer.
