DP Rub preference for baby backs

edited February 2016 in EggHead Forum
Afternoon all.  

Just picked up two racks of baby backs for the weekend.  Planning on experimenting with my Christmas DP variety pack.  Probably going Dizzy Dust/Swamp Venom mix for first rack and I'm looking for suggestions for rack number 2.  Anyone ever use the Redeye Express on ribs before? All suggestions are welcome....

    I know you are talking about DP rubs, but I have started using Meatchurch Honey Hog BBQ rub.. IMO this is the best I have tried to date.. Just a hint of sweetness..

    +1 on the  Meat church honey hog...although in all fairness, I have yet to try any DP products. 

    I I keep throwing hints out to family members, but haven't received any gift packs yet, guess I'm just going to have to go online and order for myself!

    I must be the only person who is not a fan of honey hog.  Must rubs in my city are some form of sugar, paprika, and salt. Honey hog makes them taste like they have zero sugar at all. Tons of people swear by that stuff though.

    Thanks for the recommendations all!  I've heard a lot about Meatchurch.  I've got to check it out once I get through some of these DPs.  Sorry to post and go dark yesterday, got called into work suddenly.  Nothing worse then when work conflicts with some bbq rub talk!

    You might try Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head.  It's a nice compliment to pork ribs.  At the very least, cut four or so ribs off the rack and give it a try on the mini-rack.

    Oakridge also has some great rubs ... their sample pack is an inexpensive way to try them out.  Their     Dominator Sweet Rib Rub (plus 5% ground cinnamon added) is our go to combo for ribs.  Santa Maria is fantastic on steaks.

    Cut those two racks in half and you'll have four palettes to paint with four different rubs.  Although, if your household is like ours, be prepared to only get one rib off the first place rack.

    I love DP products and used the hell out of it. But, ribs and butts for me is Bad Byrons Butt Rub (or just S&P on the ribs). 
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd.

    50/50 dizzy dust & swamp venom is my standard. Red eye seems more suited for beef to me. Maybe Shakin' the Tree, w. some Jamaican Firewalk for a slightly citrus and hot mix.

    I did some pineapple head on my ribs for super bowl sunday.  The company I work for is now a DP dealer.  We haven't received our opening order yet, but I added a quart of pineapple head to it just for pork chops and ribs...maybe some chicken too!

    @jbjet45 ... I tried it on wings ... not that good there ... Tsunami Spin is a better choice for wings.

    Someone at an Eggfest a few years ago did some ribs with Mary's Cherry Rub.
    While I'm not a huge cherry fan, I bought some and have used it a few times with a combo of hickory/cherry wood and finished with some Blues Hog BBQ sauce. They were probably some of the best ribs I've done. 

    That being said, more often then not I use Dizzy Dust.
