    I smoked some spare ribs last night. They were moist, tender, but I could hardly taste any smoke on them. Is it possible to over rub (the jokes write themselves in this thread)?

    Can rub be a barrier to smoke?

      No.

      Membranes? Yes. Fat? Yes.

      Did you pull the silver membrane first? Trim excess fat? Did you see a smoke ring?

        That's it. I was in a hurry and skipped pulling the membrane. Definitely made a difference in taste.

          So, I did two racks on Sunday. On one I used Cimarron Doc's, on the other I used the PBC All Purpose Rub. Cimmaron Doc's made a very nice bark, it has a great flavor, but a bit heavy on the heat, IMO. Maybe I just put it on too thick. I will give this rub a try again. The PBC rub, meh. Probably won't be using this again.
