Founders' Notes
This is the rub I reach for anytime I’m smoking ribs or rib tips. I love the sugary bark it gives them, and the flavor is closest to what I grew up eating in Chicago. My go-to doneness check is the flex test: lift from the center bones, and if they bend to the point where the meat’s about to crack, they’re ready.
