Trying something a little different with some spares. I trimmed them St. Louis style, then rubbed them with a little mustard and Worcestershire sauce. A buddy of mine who is a die hard WSM user sold me on it so I decided to give it a try. He swears by the mustard/Worcestershire slather overnight.

Hit them with some John Henry Pecan Rub and Swamp Venom - and into the fridge for the long cold rest until they meet a fire or Wicked Good, cherry, and pecan wood tomorrow around 10:00 am.

  • Now that looks DAMN good!

    I have read about mustard on ribs many times. From a culinary view, I just don't get it, but am willing to try anything once. Let us know how the end result is.

    Fidel,
    W sauce sounds like a good idea. Do you mix the mustard/W Sauce together and then slather? What's the method? I want to give it a try.

    Slathered with mustard, then splashed on a little wooster, then rubbed it in. Then added the rubs.

    It is wrapped in saran and foil overnight and I will rub a little more before tossing on the egg in the morning.

    I'll post results when they are done tomorrow night. I do not plan to foil, but I will mist throughout the cook.

    Hey Jeff. I think the mustard does not much more than gives the rub something to hold on to. I have used it several times and as far as I'm concerned it just adheres the rub. I just use enough to lightly coat the ribs, brisket, butt, etc. and then apply the rub. Others say it helps break down collingen etc. but I can't verify this. I do use Frenchs lightly though. Those with more experience may feel differently.

    Let us know how it turns out. This really sounds like something I want to try on ribs. Did the guy that told you about usiing W sauce on ribs say if he's tried it on pork buttt?

    No, but I didn't ask him either.

    I wouldn't doubt it would be good as an ingredient in an injection though.

    I normally use Dizzy Dust with a little Jamaican Firewalk. I like a hint of heat on ribs.

    I think this will be prety similar, but I tend to use the JH whenever I use pecan wood. I hope they turn out as good as my buddy says.
