  1. I made this today, and really think that I could make this work for my family. The ribs were very tender and not dried at all. I think the addition of liquid made all the difference, and may try different flavors just for a change. The rub is excellent, but I found that it was too strong from the beginning. When I make it again I am planning to use it more as a medium spice. Then I'll add the additional brown sugar/spice mix a bit earlier. A crust is unnecessary. This doesn't have to be dredged in the spice for our taste. I will use Tyler Florenz ultimate rib sauce to finish it. A bit spicy, some fruit in the sauce helps.
