I am thinking of doing some rib tips this next week. Throughout the summer I save the tips from the spares and freeze them. I now have 6 tips in the freezer. I want to smoke them in the UDS next week. In the past when I have done this, they have been salty. What's the best kind of rub to counter this. I have been thinking "slap yo mamma" sprinkled on a few might be a good feast. SPOG might also be good on one. I also have been meaning to try it with straight tiger sauce. I am also thinking of doing some on the Santa Maria.
 
Here is the rub I use on just about everything, notice it contains no salt.

Al’s Best Rub

1 1/2 cups raw sugar (turbinado)

1/4 cup red pepper flakes

1/2 cup granulated onion

1/2 cup granulated garlic

1/2 cup black pepper

1/2 cup smoked paprika

1/4 cup Spanish or Hungarian paprika

Al, I have seen that one before or similar. The one I saw added white pepper and a dash of ancho chili powder Since there is no salt, this is one where I might zing the meat with apple cider vinegar first.

Why not just drop the salt, and go with OPG.
