How do you produce a dark crust on the bbq ribs. My ribs usually come out with a dark carmel look with little crust. I inserted a picture as an example of what I want mine to look like. Thanks

You need to use a rub with some sort of sugar in it to form a crust. Look around the forum for a rub recipe you think looks good.

I use either brown or maple sugar on mine.

Good luck!

  Like mneeley said, a rub with a fair amount of sugar and maybe crank up the temp for the last part of the cook time.

I agree, but that being said sugar is the key
