Baby Back Ribs

[Bill Lundberg]

Just put them in a marinade consisting of the following:

Apple Juice
non-iodized salt
chopped garlic
chili powder
white pepper
cayenne pepper

And made up a rub for tomorrow AM with the following:

onion powder
granulated sugar
chili powder
non-iodized salt
black pepper
cayenne pepper
cumin
KC Rib Doctor

I'm giddy like a school girl.

I'm planning on filling the water tray with the remaining marinade. I've read about Mops, some use them some don't. What's a Mop and should I worry about having one?

One suggestion.....you have salt in the marinade and salt in the rub. Maybe from several sources in the rub. If you have already done the marinade, I would suggest omitting the salt in the rub. Most likely your chili powder and Rib Doctor already include salt.

It's hard to screw up smoked ribs, but over salting is one way to do it, IMO.

Not that I've ever made that mistake myself.......yeah, right.

Mops add flavor and moisture. When I smoke over wood and charcoal I don't use a water tray, so I use a mop.
