The best way and time to add rub to your ribs is about i hour before you put them on the cooker. Doing it the night before does not dry them out but is really unnecessary.
Start bone side up and apply your rub and let them stand at room temp for 20-30 minutes. They will shine and sweat and the rub will become one. after the half hour flip over and repeat and let rest the 20-30 minutes....what you have done my friends is create a dry brine that is the best for ribs
