They might want to consider sending along instructions with the ribs, if they want to expand their customer base beyond those "in the know."

I'm giving the remaining few of my racks away to a buddy who wants them because they're all-natural/no hormones or antibiotics added, and he makes some sort of healthy bone broth with the leftover bones from that kind of meat.

I'd doubt a supplier would know chit about competition BBQ or how to cook it.
Now if a fellow cook was to bring me a Margarita on Friday evening and ask for a few pointers, heck I've been known to be friendly. As far as telling the whole country via forum what I may have learned from cooking a season with them, I'm not that friendly.

I've placed 2nd, 4th, 5th in the last three contests with Duroc ribs, sure wish I was your buddy.

I have cooked them a couple different ways and they are just something I am not comfortable with.

If the ribs wouldn't be thawed and the margarita melted by the time they made it to Missouri, I'd be glad to share both!

The biggest problem that I had with them and had to learn to over come was the back of the bones blowing out of the meat.

Yes, this last cook I cooked them at a lot lower temp to help prevent that. I think if I had a source where I could pick them out for myself they "might" be something I could use. However having to mail order them and "hope" I get good ones is not worth the price/risk. I also didn't notice that much of a noticeable different in flavor. That is the thing about BBQ what works for one guy doesn't mean it will work for the next.

I can buy Farmland Duroc by the case from a local butcher,3.79/lb. I resale my rejects, usually only 2 in a case of 10 to a buddy for $10/rack.

These kind of discussions are why i love this site

How do you get the brethren discount? I'm new to the site and couldn't find any info on it.

I mistyped. I meant to say KCBS discount. If you are a member you get 10% off an order.
