My sauces and many others are documented in infernooo's sauce contest thread.
When I sauce ribs, I apply the sauce THIN using warmed sauce after the ribs have been removed from the smoker and let it "set up" for approximately 10 minutes. For contests, I put the sauce on right before closing the clamshell...
The reason: sauce tends to absorb smoke, and my ribs are smoky enough...
The rubs I use are largely peppers and a seasoned salt, with little or no sugars in it. To balance, I like the sauce to lean towards a more sweet sauce with a hint of a bite.
