Need professional input on doing something different with rib rub

Have not been on in a few weeks. tried to avoid some of the banter thars been going back and forth.

Ive been cooking ribs for many years now and there is one thing I have not  tried, putting rub on for the first time towards the end of the cook.

I've noticed that after hours of cook time, sugar in the rub tends to lose its sweet . Garlic powder and onion powder also form an off putting taste. Therefore, has anyone intentionally waited until the later stage of cooking to add rub for the first time. If so, how did they turn out. I'm thinking of doing that this weekend. I think they may be better that way.

What do ya'll think? Thanks.

    Well, you could always just wait until the very end, then add the rub just like sprinkling salt & pepper or tony chachere's on your food on your plate.

    My experience, you can put a lot of salt in food before it tastes too salty, fresh salt on the outside takes a lot less to get that salt taste in your mouth.

    Sounds like a good experiment.  Try it out and report findings ASAP.

    It was very entertaining and I wanted to be knee deep involved, but resisted. What do you think about waiting until last hour of a rib cook to apply run for first time?
