Sometimes Less truly is more..................
A week ago I had a slab of baby-backs kind of an impulse buy.........they were on sale.
Anyway I thought I'd try something different & since they were on sale if they weren't great less was to be lost.
I didn't really want to go through the motions of mixing all the ingredients I typically do for a rub so I went with Sage, fresh Rosemary, fresh ground Pepper, Sea Salt & a little garlic. I do love Rosemary! I smoked 'em low @ about 170 for about 3 hrs. Wrapped 'em in a aluminum cooked 'em for 2 hours @ 250. Then finished them in the smoker for about an hour & put the smoke to 'em. They were awesome. They weren't as good the next day which was a little odd but fresh off the smoker they were phenomenal. I didn't measure anything just added stuff til it looked right. I think it's bogus to go with a recipe verbatim most times anyway.
