SRF STL ribs...looking for a rub recipe

[JCGrill]

Take a look at the free site, Clint Cantwell has a recipe for beef back ribs, and there's a rub recipe too. Chili, cocoa and coffee. Not far from what you did

[grantgallagher]

this was done with the 3-2-1 method and butcher paper. whole cook ran about 235 or just under. smoked with cherry wood

Its pretty great. Def an overall earthy feel. I think i would dial up the ancho or maybe add some chipotle next time. Not catxhing much of the chili.

it does not taste like coffee or chocolate, like i said just an overall deep earthy taste. Would probably pair really well with an old world dry red wine

Into the last hour. Cranked up the heat to 325 for the last hour to really crisp up bark after wrapping.

Looks great. I have a recipe from Joe Famularo's Joy of Grilling somewhere in the house. It was for a pork roast. I've used it and was pleased. I can try to find it if you want.

Ooh. I like the inclusion of fennel. My wife hates that taste though so its rarely present in my spice cupboard

Here's my recipe;

1 Tbs. finely ground espresso coffee beans
1 Tbs. pure ancho chile powder
1 tsp. natural cocoa powder
1 tsp. granulated garlic
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground fennel seed
1/8 tsp. ground allspice
4 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Does sound interesting. Look forward to the taste test results.

[grantgallagher]

Screw it, i just made one up, lol.

2 tbsp fine ground expresso
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
2 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp coarse black pepper
1 tbsp ancho chili
1 tbsp brown coconut sugar
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp corriander

If nothing else it will certainly be...interesting. Will report back when the cook is done tomorrow.

I'd probably use this on beef, not pork, but I like his recipes.
