    Ribs on OR Ribs Off?

    Quick update.... The Queen says: BEST EVER .... That's high praise in my space. But a couple of things I noted. These were large on gross tonnage... 15.3 and 13.3 before I trimmed some excess fat cap and retired. Cook at 230 degrees in the XLBGE. Both done under 4 hours which was a bit of shock...
