Loin backs first time using butcher paper and honey hog

Smoking 2 slabs tomorrow. Both honey hog rub and wrapping with butcher paper are going to be new for me.

When I wrap I usually add the brown sugar, honey, and butter holy trinity; but the rub I’ve been using isn’t already sweet. With the honey hog should I hold back on the brown sugar and honey? I don’t want them too sweet. Maybe just a squeeze of parkay? 

Also never used butcher paper to wrap before, any tips? Thinking it’ll go a little longer wrapped up as opposed to the foil wrap. 

Thanks.

    I'd leave it out and add the brown sugar and honey or molasses to your sauce. 

    Its not overly sweet but there is a hint on there that I could see getting overwhelming if you kept at it.

    @Killit_and_Grillit that was kinda my sense just wondered what others would say, it also made me think since it is my first run with a new rub, I probably should just see what it tastes like on its own before adding stuff

    You ever wrap ribs with butcher paper?

    @Hans61 I bet you will enjoy it. I mix it and the Honey Hog Hot on most of my pork butts and use it a lot on ribs.

    I just put it on a turkey leg that's sitting out on the Egg right now.

    I ended up doing just a little bit of brown sugar and honey in the wrap

    these were a true 3-2-1 temps ranging from 250-270

    The butcher paper didn’t cook the ribs as fast as foil. Thinking a stall on a butt or a brisket in paper would last longer - will do a sliced pic later

    Sweet potatoe and corn bread muffin sauce on the table was “the next big thing” this was a great meal. The honey hog was nice and mild I’ll do a heavier coat next time

    thanks for looking
