While Memphis ribs are typically (not always) done without a sauce they do get some moisture, tenderization, and flavor from a good mop. Memphis mops, like most barbecue mops are made with vinegar and some seasoning. We're using our Memphis Rub for flavor. Mops are applied during the smoking process to prevent meats from drying out and to create a layering of flavor that is vital to great barbecue.
