I am anti putting brown sugar in the wrap. The brown sugar gets burnt and turns bitter and into a tar like substance. It's disgusting.

I don't know why so many bbq guys recommended doing this...but I wont do it again.

Hmm.

By wrap, are you talking about foil?

I make ribs every couple of weeks. Rub and brown sugar, no foil, couple hours at 225, then broil in the oven for 5-10 minutes depending on thickness of the slab. No burnt, no sticky, just beautiful ribs. All I do is mop them halfway through and again before they go into the broil.
