So i decided to go simple with the rib roasts I'm smoking for Saturday (tomorrow). I marinaded in some Worcestershire sauce (as the salt) and some fresh black pepper. I trimmed the really hard fat that wont render and scored the fat caps. here is what we have so far

Pa one is in October, hope it turns out as good as this one.

You all are welcome.

Those sammies were awesome. Can't thank Aaron enough for that. Sure took a lot of pressure off of Joe and I trying to get Q ready. Nobody went hungry and there was always food to eat. I would also like to thank Lisa B at Vacuum Sealers Unlimited for her donation and Tulsa Jeff for his awesome book Smoking Meat: The Essential Guide to Real Barbecue. WingRider's son-in-law got the book. He is just starting to get into BBQ and this will be a big benefit to him and Bob(WingRider). He now will have a helper. The Sweet Life and 2 Gals Kitchen here in Concord gave us a bunch of beer and the most unbelievable chocolate cake. Someone must have a pic of it somewhere. Can't wait til next year. Should be the same weekend so mark your calendars.
