I have a dry rub ready to put on them tonight and I am throwing them on the grill/smoker before kickoff tomorrow (don't worry, I am starting the chili at 6 AM for a noon kickoff...) to be ready by 6 PM...
So, should I marinate them in anything before, or just put the dry rub on them tonight before I put them in the smoker (4-zone gas grill with some tinfoil containers for wood chips (I have mesquite chips and big chunks of pecan from a neighbor's tree...), water-filler container to put the ribs over (on a cooking rack) and other stuff). I made my own rub up with garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper, chili powder, white pepper, black pepper, sea salt, oregano and parsley (both dried and ground up), cinnamon, brown sugar, and mustard powder. It smells pretty good, but I would like my first "rib smoking" to be a success...
Recommendations wanted, please.....
(I thought about marinating them in Goya Ginger Beer or some Sam Adams for a few hours, but am not sure).
