I have my ribs on and I forgot my apple juice.  I am middle of a campground in the country so running to a store is not an option.  What else can I use?  I have beer, strawberry/banana V8, Barqs creme soda, dark rum, vodka, gin and wine.

Forget the water and forget the spritz bottle just pour directly in mouth

I used to spritz and when I quit doing it I saw no difference other than my cooks got done faster without the spritz and opening the lid frequently.

I wanted an excuse to have a beer anyway so I did the beer and water.

When I was out of apple juice, I used a concoction of pork broth, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar to spritz. 

[Bar-B-Lew]

I used to use apple juice or cider, Worcestershire, and some hot sauce.

I stopped spritzing about the same time I quit foiling and using mustard as a rub binder.

None of it made any difference in my opinion. YMMV...

I agree about all 3.

On a separate subject, I made some chuck roasts for pulled beef the other day.  I didn't even put a rub on them.  Didn't taste any different than when I used rubs on them.  So, no more rubs on chuck roasts for pulled beef going forward.  I will save time and money.

So how did stuff turn out?

[reubenray]

They turned out great.  I was surprised to find decent ribs at a local Walmart.  They were over 4 pounds at $2.52 a pound.  I normally would eat three ribs, but I only ate two being they were so big.

I do not spritz too much any more but when I do I use  50-50 water and apple cider vinegar.  I use to use apple juice but got tired of trying to keep the sprayer from clogging up.

I have not found it necessary to spritz my ribs.  Because I will use a moisturizer before I add my rub and I also wrap with honey, brown sugar and a liquid after two. Hours I just don’t think it needed

All this talk about ribs is making me HUNGRY!!!!!

Speaking of ribs, in preparation for my yearly three month trek to the Pacific NW, I've got 8 racks of baby backs thawing for smoking/cooking on Friday. I'm leaving Valley Of The Sun and going to the land of Never Ending Rain in two weeks and will bring along with me a large ice chest filed with frozen smoked meats. I make the trip in two days and 40 lbs. of dry ice keeps things still hard frozen for the boat freezer.
