[BamsBBQ]

do you slather your ribs before you put rub on?

i do, with mustard or w.sauce

[chowhound]

Not ribs, but I use mustard on butts.

[PieSusan]

I use to like extra sauce on my ribs when I could still eat tomato based sauces.

I use to enjoy eating ribs once in a while.

Are we talking an initial slather before they hit the heat? If so then no. If you are talking about when they go into the foil then yes with either honey or syrup and then more rub to make a really nice bark....

I use a dry rub before smoking, then I might "slather" towards the end of cooking.

Me neither but I've always wanted to try the mustard deal. I have a Chipotle mustard that I think would be outstanding slathered on ribs with a chipotle rub....

[Lefty]

Nope, dry rub, then mop as cooking.

[RobsanX]

Dry rub, dip in sauce only after they're on my plate...

[joec]

It really depends on what I'm making, ribs just dry rub, pork butt I use mustard then rub but have done it the other way too. Brisket I use a rub or marinate and rarely use much BBQ sauce but serve it on the side warm for those that want it. I also make a few different types of glazed ribs such as orange chipotle glaze. I also brine some things as well.

[AllenOK]

I've only done ribs a couple of times. I've never slathered, just always rubbed.

I will say that I need to work with ribs more often to learn them better.

[smoke king]

Sometimes with Mustard, but I usually just rub em'.

That's pretty much what I do. Sometimes I'll make two different racks. 1 wet, 1 dry.

[TexasGirl]

No no no, you don't want to cover that yummy taste with sauces. I love it just smoked.

[QSis]

Yes, I slather with mustard before rubbing. I learned that way, and now I do it more out of habit than anything
else.

I slather my Butts with mustard, but not the ribs.

^Gee, I don't know why my head is in the gutter tonight. I think it has to do with goat heads and a certain Meat Party that I read about.

I use Italian salad dressing, and people around here love my bbq.

[Maverick2272]

I like to put a little honey mustard on mine first, then the rub. And yea, I take em 'wet' when they are done. IE BBQ sauce brushed on em just as they are finishing on the grill then some time in foil in the oven on low heat.
Yum!

Now that's food porn!!

I like Italian salad dressing on things I do in my stove/oven but never used it for grilling or smoking. I like the Good Season's brand that you mix yourself.

[leolady]

Try it joe! You'll like it!
