Wet rub/paste vs. dry rub for ribs

[reddirtbert]

Update:
Dry rub left, paste on the right.

So the paste created a firm bark, almost like the crust of creme brûlée but leathery. I think the sugar was able to bind together more in the paste (I used significantly less sugar in the paste).

Conclusion: My paste, should not be used as a rub replacement.

So, I will probably be sticking to dry rubs. Although, I may try to use the chili paste as a binder sometime soon.

Thank you all for your feedback everyone!
