So last weekend I smoked a single spare rib rack and it didn't turn out very good at all. It smelled really good, cut nice, looked fantastic, but basically had no taste. Almost none...
Here is the details
1. Medium rack with decent marbling.
2. Used same rub (mine) .. typical pap/brown sugar mix
3. 3 hours at 225 plus or minus 5
4. Fuel charcoal with one lump of pecan at any time
5. Good smoke with fast movement ... smelled really nice
6. Wrap 2 hours with brown sugar, butter, tad of dry rub, tiger sauce, apple juice)
7. 1 hour back on smoker .. cut in half during last hour.. half used Sugar Ray original and 2nd side used Trigg like mix of corn syrup, molasses, and tomoto sauce
There was no sweetness, no heat, no flavor except for a very tad hint of the pork flavor. Again, smoke ring was 9.5 out of 10 and the glaze looked amazing.
WHAT WENT WRONG???? I just don't understand ... anyone have this happen?
