I'm making some baby backs tomorrow. I've tried a lot of rubs, some found on here and some found on other sites. They always seem very strong and overpowering. One of my favorite local rib joints has some of the best ribs I've ever had, and all they taste like are slightly salty/smokey ribs with a very thin glaze of sweet bbq sauce. If I'm looking for that, is just a salt and pepper rub sufficient for the rub, followed by a thin glazing of some bbq sauce towards the end of the smoke? I'm planning on using mostly apple with a few chunks of hickory.
Thanks all
