First Time Baby Back Ribs on Big Green Egg...Amazing!

I finally ventured into the realm of Baby Back Ribs on the Egg. I used a combination of techniques I found on the forum...and the result was the best tasting, most tender ribs I have ever tasted! I am not the greatest cook, so if I can do it anyone can.

I used Sticky Fingers and Todd's Dirt rubs mixed. I let rest in the refrigerator for an hour and cooked for 4.5 hours at 225 degrees, basting every hour with apple juice! Amazing!

    I found some sauce near me, But I haven't seen any rub except in the restaurants.

    I might take you up on that...I've still got some rub left from my last visit.

    We are going on a cruise in February, so I'll stop by Sticky Fingers and Sweet P's on my way to/from Florida.

    Thanks,

    Donnie

    Donnie, head up to Cincy. Near my house is Jungle Jim's and they carry every Sticky Finger sauce there is.  They have a wonderful rub and sauce department.  Next time I'm there I'll check to see if they have the rub.
