Always hear good BBQ doesn't need sauce. Always thought that was a crazy comment, BBQ needs a good sauce. Decided I needed some spare ribs today. I like them with sauce added about the last 10- 15 mins of the cook. Wife likes them without sauce with just a dry rub. So, I did 2 racks with sauce and 2 without sauce. Used Dizzy Pig Dizzy Dust and peach wood for smoke. I found myself eating more of the no sauced ribs then those with sauce. The peach smoke and Dizzy Dust made for an incredible flavor with the ribs. They were really good. Wife came home from work and went straight to the no sauce ribs. She looked at me, like a fat girl at an all you can eat BBQ, and said "OMG..these are so friggin good!" I may have to re-think having to have sauce.

Love it. Great cook. Great ribs do not require sauce. And, nothing against saucing ribs.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

I always say - "they are your ribs so it makes no difference how I like them!"
BUT since you asked - I prefer to cook and serve them w/o being sauced, but having cups of sauce on the side for those who prefer sauce.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time. -

Me, I like them either way. Good is good. That may just be the slob in me speaking though.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
Congrats on running the side-by-side. Sauce on the side for me unless I know someone in attendance "needs" a carmelized few ribs. As you note, two keys-nailing the cook and quality of the dry rub.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I have always liked a thin glaze 30 min left to set up, kind of rounds pork out. No problems eating Memphis dry ribs with a quality rub. The TX peppery pork ribs would be hard to swallow.

I tend to go w. dry, and a bit of sauce on the side. I never had ribs that weren't sauced till I was almost 40. The ones I had then were exceptional, and it completely changed how I thought about ribs. Now, almost another 40 years along, I'm starting to rethink. I'm beginning to think the quality of most sauce is rather mediocre. That's why I keep the sauce on the side, as something that just bumps up the flavor, or contrasts w. what is in the rub. Nothing that sits on the flavor of the meat and rub.

I like them all. But I have a slight preference for ribs that get a thin glaze toward the end. If I was at your table I'd eat whatever most people aren't eating - so I wouldn't have to feel guilty about eating a whole rack or more...
