Looking Good! Yum Go Browns break that curse! There's a new Dog in town. WOOF! RG

I hang them in my pit boss junior. I will flip them top to bottom about halfway through the cook. I also start out with the thickest part closest to the fire. I pull them off when they pass the bend test . then into foil with some sauce for good rest. RG

I use a large cooler. pour some boiling water into it, let it set to warm up. Foil wrap yor ribs, squirt some sauce on both sides. Empty the water and place ribs inside. Layer with old towels. This will hold them for 5-6 hours. Slice right before serving. RG

I can attest to those gas / service station antics. We all pumped gas or had a buddy who worked at a station. We carry cash to avoid 3% CC charges. Started writing more checks now. How many of those youngsters can write out $4605.34? My wife is tech challenged. She really wanted a printed...
