I like the idea of putting honey on them, I'm going to have to try that.
Use some butter or margarine and brown sugar too, it really makes a difference.
I usually brown and white sugar in my rub. .
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never use any kind of sugar in your rub, it will caramelize while cooking and keep the smoke from getting into the meat, among other things.
The heat goes into the rub and the sweet goes into the sauce (along with a bunch more heat). You introduce the sugar (honey etc.) after a few hours, the meat in the smoker will only take so much smoke internally, after that point has been reached then you can add the sweet.
tldr: put sweet on meat after grug do fire thingy.
