    Thanks for your dry rub recipe. I’m 17 and I even started making my own dry rub mixture, but intead of using that much chili powder, I use a little cinnamon and white peper to give it a sweet flavor with a little “after burn”.

    like you can pour out exact quantities without measuring you low life cretin. No one wants to hear your vile coments

    Are you serious? The point is for those with low quality internet connections so they can take notes in case they can;t read it – besides, I make a quart once a year and keep it in the cabinet. I learned along time ago – it is better to have a short pencil than a long memory.

    If this was your recipe you would KNOW it by heart and not have to look it all up. I hate when people rip off other recipes and claim it like it is the family recipe.. what a joke. Next time edit your video, no one wants to see you measure.

    If you don’t have a smoker or grill, ribs can be cooked in the oven and rub added when nearly done or even (what lately I have become more accustomed to doing) fully cooking and rubbing after.

    BBQers choice – there are BBQ police who will come arrest you if you do it with some variability.

    I have added powdered smoke and extra salt in different batches – mood dependent.

    LA or NY… Do you play a little jazz I guess. What part (general area – region actually) of GA? We lived for a while in Columbus, a nice small town. If you get a chance… the Smoky Mountains in late October can be mighty pretty, like an autumn day in New England when the hardwoods turn. Life is good and too short.

    Thank you, sir, for sharing your cooking tradition. This is what family, tradition and good people are all about. I am a saxophonist, so I have to live in L.A. or N.Y. My family is from Georgia and Tennessee and sure miss them and southern ways. BTW: my Dad passed a year ago and you sound just like him, so it’s been comforting… lol Thanks again!

    Well I pretty much just cook them over smoke, naked {them not me ;-) }, mopping them every 30 minutes or so just to keep them moist. I also use a BBQ bottle (new, clean, water-filled spray bottle) and spray them instead of mopping quite a bit. Then at the end, sprinkle the rub on them. You can see this sort of thing at the end of my video “How to Make and Test a Smoke-Pot for your Existing LP Grill”

    you said that you cook your ribs without any rub in the beginning? you put the rub AND the mop on when they’re almost done?
