That seems like an awful lot of salt in those BBQ rubs. I'd probably cut back on some of the cayenne, too.

Yeah. I just reposted exact recipes. I do not agree with all of them. I personally do not use salt at all on ribs. I think there is enough salt in most American food. I'd hate to add extra.

My wife said she made a Disney recipe and asked if I wanted to sample it. I agreed only to see her returning with an apple... When she offered it to me, I quickly slapped it out of her hand and said "Not today, Evil Queen! Not today!"

Big Thunder Ranch BBQ was a copycat of what Walt Disney himself experienced at his own home at Smoke Tree Ranch in Palm Springs, CA. He wanted to imitate his experiences for families to enjoy at Disneyland. Unfortunately, they removed the BBQ ranch and petting zoo style area for Star Wars land a few years back. Left over recipes are all that remain.
