Chris Lilly was in the local paper this morning talking ribs for July 4th...

3-2-1? He don' say nouttin' 'bout no stinkin' 3-2-1 ... :heh:

Just put them on indirect and enjoy your guests. Sounds easy to me!

4 hours at 250?????

hmmm, some people are going to end up with some tough chewy ribs I think. That was a great article, but they should have discussed ways to test for tenderness I think, instead of just relying on time.

I just finished reading the article and thought it was a great article too but some of the measurements in the recipes read 0/00 tablespoon of whatever. Kinda hard to duplicate but I can use my own judgement on that. I also don't think I would just put them on and then mingle with friends for 4 hours.

I lived in Madison from 1986-1996 working for Intergraph. Ex, oldest daughter and grandaughter still live there only in Huntsville. Sure do miss the Tenn River.

Now I like Whitt's. That started out in Tennessee, up Lawrenceburg way, and now they have stores in Fayetteville, Pulaski, Huntsville, Decatur -- just all over the place. They process all their cue in Ardmore, TN. They lack the national marketing skills and publishing prowess of BBG. Darn. I'll take good cue instead, I reckon.

Caught some monsters. Wish I were into smoking back then. Could have smoked some cats, crappie, bass, God only knows what else. I'll be going back pretty soon to visit, can't wait.

I've eaten at Big Bob's locations in Decatur. it was good but I've had better. Maybe I was expecting too much.

 

[Big_AL]

They guy has a 1.12 ERA in 1968 and all anyone cares about are his ribs?

Oh... never mind. :doh:

 

[wnkt]

I lived in Decatur from 84-92 and Ive had Big Bob's Loaded baked taters ...but never stepped in the place.
