I have a question that I can't really seem to find on the site. I'm starting to expand my BBQ craft to the masses this year. I want to hit local festivals this Spring and Summer and see if I really want to do this or not.
I've noticed that a lot of the local festivals only give you so much time to prepare onsite before the festival begins. I plan on serving ribs at all festivals I do. I generally need about 6 hours to do ribs which includes the smoker getting to temp. Most of the local festivals like street parties and farmers markets in my area only give you about 3 hours to show up before the event. So my question is do any of you precook ribs before an event? I do have a commissary kitchen that I use. I've catered several events and parties but always cooked Ribs and served right away (Staggered Times as well). I might just have to leave the ribs off my menu. I'm concerned about the quality and I think precooking ribs just might not be what I want to do.
Thanks
