I stopped at a local chain bbq joint

smoke ninja · 10-22-2017, 05:40 PM

Billy Sims Bbq. They have several locations in the area. We were out to lunch at work and it was suggested. I didn't want to be the complainer so i complied. 12:30pm on a Saturday and the lobby was desolate. No patrons no crew. For a solid minute our group stood there contemplating our fate. When we were finally greated the party stood frozen, one man waiting on the next... i broke the silence with a half rack of ribs and 2 sides.

I would use disappointing but i already knew before the first bite. Leathery bark and bitter smoke. Ive tasted the likes before...the time i relit a roach backward in my mouth. I ate most of the rack, it was a chore. The sides were good. The whole time i felt i was cheating onthe woodpile.

I battled a major case of smoke burps the rest of the day. I just had to wash the taste out of my mouth. Proper ribs were in order.

Slathered in hot sauce and seasoned with sweet seduction and mixed up pepper

Kettle set up. Ring method mixed with cherry wood

Water was used to regulate temps. I have forsaken technology. Rub was allowed to sweat for 2 hrs

Cooked naked til tender, no sauce. About 3.5 hrs

Should get the taste out of my mouth

mytmouz · 10-22-2017, 05:42 PM

Those look tasty...

BillN · 10-22-2017, 05:46 PM

Oh yeah those look good. Guess I'll have to fight Bruno for the tips.

Bob C Cue · 10-22-2017, 05:54 PM

Those ribs look very tasty and have a splendid bark.

pjtexas1 · 10-22-2017, 05:54 PM

Those should make you forget the recent travesty. Nicely done.

Nice ninja!

Years ago, I stopped in a a drug store after visiting my father-in law in the hospital where he was after having a heart attack. Billy Sims was there and I mentioned my FIL was a fan. He ended up paying him a visit.

ronbrad62 · 10-22-2017, 06:44 PM

Those should put a great taste in your mouth. If you want something done right....

Smoke Dawg · 10-22-2017, 06:46 PM

You can't cheat the woodpile!

You just have to repent, cook something righteous, and clean the PB!

Those ribs look righteous!

I’ve had the chance to eat at the origins Billy Sim’s in Oklahoma. Not that good either.

Your ribs look Great I have stopped going to BBQ Places

qapla · 10-22-2017, 07:27 PM

I know the feeling.

A couple months ago I was in Dothan. Al. I stopped at a place that is supposed to be "best BBQ in Dothan". If that is their best, I guess I'm glad I didn't go to one of the other places.

Now, them ribs - they look like good eats

blazinfire · 10-22-2017, 07:31 PM

The taste of lighting a roach backwards..... Thanks Never wanted to think about that again!! haha Looks like your off to a good start. I honestly have low expectations for other people BBQ now. I feel I've handled cooking BBQ well lately and when I go somewhere to eat out its just not the same.

It's difficult for BBQ chains to make good backyard BBQ.
