pre-rubbed?

[SuperDave]

Anyone try and like the pre-rubbed ribs?  I'm solo this weekend with the wife away on a trip so I picked up a single rack of pre-rubbed St. Louis spares last night and just threw it in the smoker.  Yet another experiment for the new smoker.

Don't know about pre-rubbed ribs but I hate those pre-marinated pork tenderloins that are out there.

 

[SuperDave]

I haven't tasted them yet but somebody darn better give me a pat on the back.  I went 5 hours without peeking and left in for one more hour to finish without ever wrapping.  This is a first!!  It didn't fall apart when I picked it up so I think I've got an opportunity to glaze lightly and finish on the grill.

Consider yourself patted, Dave! ;D

Pat the back Dave! It's hard to resist peeking when the aromas of smoking surround you.

 

[NDKoze]

Pat from me too Dave.

So, how did they turn out?

 

[SuperDave]

Meat was darn near perfect, just the right amount of tug but clean off the bone.  The only thing that kept me from going into a food coma was the rub that Swift used, not my fav ingredients.  While that worked in the SI, I made some smoked beans and smoked mac & cheese in the old faithful.

 

[DivotMaker]

Well, Dave, not sure about the taste, but they LOOK incredible!  Nice job!

Dave, when you say pre-rubbed, do you mean the prepackaged ribs in BBQ sauce or some sort of dry rub?  Doing my first ribs this weekend in the SI#1 and exploring options.

DAve, those ribs look yummy. I saw that Costco has some pre-rubbed ribs that I was thinking of trying. Honestly though I think I prefer to use the rubs I know but it might be worth a try.

 

[SuperDave]

I won't repeat the pre-rubbed/seasoned ribs again.  Too much to lose and little to gain.  Stick with flavors that you know you like.

Dave, personally I think the guys are cheating you by only a pat on the back! You deserve a hug for being willing to try pre-rubbed ribs and living through the experience!  8) So virtual hugs to you!  ;D

Absolutely! ;D  "pre-rubbed" from the store is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get!  And that's all I have to say about that.  Forest Gump.

Good looking pre rubbed ribs. Great idea for a last minute meal.

Maybe I'm a rib snob, no more Lloyds ribs.
