Good Eats, Season 2 Episode: Pork Fiction

Quick notes:

• The proper rib cut is the St. Louis style cut.
• The basic rub recipe is 8 parts brown sugar, 3 parts salt, 1 part chili powder, 1 part other (suggested equal parts black pepper, cayenne, jalapeno seasoning, old bay, dried time, and onion powder).
• The 4 ounces of wood chips being called for should measure to 1.25 cups.
