So many people dont know, but I've been into bbq and running smokers longer than I've been into coffee. I am trying to make more time to combine the two and will be working on my Bad Bitch rum barrel aged coffee rub soon. This was just an experiment hanging ribs on a drum smoker for the 1st time--4 ways with a base rub that I made to use on each. Smoked straight up, no spritz hung for about 2 and a half hours. Pulled with the 1 (control) wrapped with a little brown sugar and a hit of bourbon, 2, hot honey glaze, 3, Pineapple Chipotle and 4, Raspberry Chipotle for an hour and then foil boated then to tack up. Perfect clean bite, not fall off the bone. Really happy with how everything came out and looking forward to what's next because this weekend I'm smoking an 18 lb brisket...traditional for the 1st run and then I'll play a bit with the coffee rub later in the week.
