I watched a Thrown Down With Bobby Flay where he went up against a Virginia BBQ pitmaster. The guy smoked his ribs for a few hours--can't remember if he said he used a dry rub first--and then finished them off on a propane grill while basting it with a mop every time he turned them over.
1. Does anyone here recommend finishing ribs on the grill?
2. I don't want heavy black bark. The guy's ribs didn't have any bark and just looked like a wet rub had been used. How do I avoid having bark form in my MES30 smoker? I made ribs once before in it and got heavy black bark, which was good for that style but I want to try a new style this time.
3. Should I still use a dry rub, smoke the ribs for 4 hours or so, and then use a mop when I throw the ribs on my charcoal Weber grill? And how many times do I turn the ribs on the grill and for how long do I finish them there?
Thanks.
