Beanie-Bean,That's exactly how I do ribs. I really like both rubs, but JH Pecan is my favorite. I bought 10 lbs of it last month. It's great on ABT's as well. I'll be very interested to know how they turned out for you. I put the trimmings on the grate at the same time as the ribs, but somehow they always disappear before I take the ribs in the house.
