Big Apple BBQ Block Party and Beef Ribs

[Button73]

Went to the Big Apple BBQ block party in New York last weekend with 2 of my best friends. We are up in Toronto so NY is only an hour plane trip away. We went down to help a friend, Billy Durney who is owner/pitmaster of Hometown BBQ in Brooklyn who was invited to showcase Beef Ribs at the event. He had 2 Lang 108's running the whole weekend cranking out ribs. We had such a great time just working and serving BBQ to everyone.

A whole hog sandwich from Sam Jones from Skylight Inn BBQ...It was so good I think it lasted 4 bites.



Billy made some Jerk baby-backs for us to snack on..great heat and texture on these.



John and Terrence from Lang drove up to bring a 108 up and help out

Great Pics! How many pounds of Beef Ribs did you end up cooking?

 

[Button73]

I think the rough number was 2500-3000lbs each day.

Great cook! I bet the entire east coast was short of beef ribs that weekend.

I had to check my total numbers of beef cooked. I said 2500-3000lbs of beef ribs. Had to confirm with Mr. L, actual number was 4800lbs of beef on Saturday and 5000 on Sunday. Wow....

so if I were to go to the store...what would I buy to make those same type beef ribs at home?

Great looking cook. Those Lang 108s are monsters. It makes my 84 DLX look small and the 84 holds a ton of meat.
