Got 4 slabs of baby backs I'm doing tomorrow. They are the Hormel Cryovac kind. Dumb question from a rib newbie. Being that they are in a sodium solution as it is, I can just skip the salting phase and go right to washing off, drying, and applying rub....correct? Planning on letting rub sit overnight.

If they are enhanced with a brine solution I would skip the salt.
Are they the Always Tender Hormel ribs?Last edited by Jon Solberg; May 29, 2016, 07:35 AM. -

Definitely skip the salt ... unless you LIKE really tight rings and watch bands

I'm looking forward the hearing how your cook turned out.Comment

One of the slabs was completely falling apart after the foil, so that one didn't get the last hour in the smoker. Just one of those things. The other three came out perfect with that last hour in.Comment

Here's a look at the results. You can see the one slab that didn't cooperate and fell apart right after the foiling.
