Re: A beginner’s guide to competition ribs

Re: Warhorse Short Ribs

Re: Warhorse Short Ribs

The Spicery has a very wide selection of chilli and other such spices and do free delivery which is always good, their black peppercorns are the best I've found so far, other spice shops are available.

Re: next Pork...the cold shoulder?

It's coming up to 12 hours (8pm tonight) and the pork is still at 176f, the BBQ is at 253~ it's been like this for a few hours now, do I just leave it going until it hits 190-5f? or add more charcoal to up the heat?

Re: Ready to go...

Well that was a scary and fun day :)

I knew how it was supposed to work, and with a few questions and moments of uncertainty I went for it following all the instructions I've cleaned from here and from books and the tips given to me directly.

And it worked exactly how it should, I had a little ...
