This rub for ribs looks outstanding and I love smoked paprika, especially for slow cooked pulled pork. With the smoked paprika in the rib rub will it work as well on the grill with the addition of smoke from the mesquite or whatever wood is being used and do you recommend a wood? Or will it "over" smoke it if that is possible? I know that too much salt and/or pepper, especially hot or spicy pepper, can literally bury the taste of the food itself. Can the same occur here with natural smoke on top of smoked spice? Thank you, Tom
