Anyone like Ribs Sans Rub?

[hoovarmin]

I've been thinking of trying to cook some ribs with just salt and pepper. Where I grew up I never remember having rubs or sauces served on ribs. I may be delusional. Does anyone here like to smoke their ribs sans rub?

[EdF]

I do now and then. No harm, for certain!

[Mr. Bones]

Yes, salt pepper ribs are delicious. Sometimes I use th' HV Steak and Burger Seasoning, as well...

[hoovarmin]

Thanks EdF and Mr. Bones. On your authority I commence to recreate the BBQ of my youth.

[EdF]

Well, that's what us longbeards are for!

[Mr. Bones]

Good Luck in your most worthy Quest, Amigo!

Would be great. I have done it but think I prefer the rub.

[JCGrill]

It's been a while, but I've had them. Nice change of pace.

I think salt and pepper is a rub. That's all my briskets get. Go for it.

[HorseDoctor]

Correct! It's called Dalmatian rub.

[hoovarmin]

jerrybell I agree!

I was also raised on naked ribs. Now I prefer them with a rub and some sauce, but I wouldn't turn down naked ribs.

I've never done pork ribs with just salt and pepper, but it should be tasty. For beef ribs, I do have a very "secret" rub ..... equal parts kosher salt, granulated garlic and coarse ground black pepper.

[ecowper]

Don't tell anybody the secret Mr. Bones

[Mr. Bones]

Mum's th' Word, Eric!
