Apple cider vinegar works good too, as does black coffee.

I make a dry rub using 8+3+1+1 ratio. 8 parts dark brown sugar, 3 parts kosher salt, 1 part dark chili powder, 1 part wild card mix depending on mood - hot pepper flakes, cumin, etc. Cook around 200.

I'm going to try my hand at smoked ribs.

Anyone have some guidance to making the best damn ribs this side of the Mississippi.

What temp?
How long per pound?
To mop sauce or not to mop sauce?

I'm another who uses the 3-2-1 formula, but I cook mine around 300 degrees, so it's more like a 2.5-1.5-.5 formula. I will add that I always cook indirect to keep them from drying out.

The only reason they come back out of the foil is to firm them up. The few times I've cooked baby backs, they didn't need the foil, but foiling them ensures they get tender, even with the bigger ribs.
