BBQ

[Jeffer]

I've been a trouble magnet all week.  I'm finally off today, going to smoke a turkey and have a few friends over for cocktails. ;D

With my luck this week, I'll burn down the back yard.  :-[

Good luck with 312.

How are you smoking it? I guess you have a smoker? ???

[Jeffer]

I have one of those giant drum smoker / grillers.  My wife calls it the Grill B****ard. ;D

I've done them before on it.  About 7 hours at 225-250 and we should be ready.

[Homer]

Cool. How about doing some ribs and sending them my way?

[Jeffer]

Ribs are next week. I'll toss a couple extra racks on for you.  8)

They were supposed to be this week, but my freezer conked out and I was able to move everything but the Turkey.  So Turkey it is...

[Homer]

What kind of wood do you use?

[Jeffer]

Normally Hickory for turkey.  They're so big, I need strong smoke to get at them.  But I've come to prefer apple for ribs.  Mesquite for steaks and seafood.  I've been playing with pecan and those Jack Daniels chips.  They're from the barrels, and when you open the bag it's like opening a bottle of Jack.  They're fun, but I haven't figured out quite to do with them..

Do you get the idea I grill a lot??   ???

[Homer]

Yeah I get the idea. As long as you cook. I'll eat.

[Homer]

Mmmmmmmm chops.  :D Anything but veggies. If I hear veggie veggie one more time I'll puke. :o

[Homer]

LMAO! I'll have final rank in a few hours. :D

If you like ribs .. I highly recommend the BBQ pork ribs from M&M meat shops. (may be a Canadian store only .. I'm not sure)

Lottso is next.

I'd like to do the BBQ vacation sometime. Hit the Carolinas, Memphis, KC and Texas. I'm sure I probably left out a few spots. ;)

[Homer]

Ooops my bad. :-[

Sherman may have marched through the south but I plan to eat my way through it. ;)

[Homer]

I split the BBQ topic from the original discussion. ;)

[Homer]

I love the JD BBQ Sauce. ;)

[Jeffer]

Yes good job Homer.  I had to take a break after 2 badges of Harvest, I just couldn't take it anymore.  I'll have to use RR when I get back to it...

Here's another good site for ribs.  If you've ever been to Memphis, Corky's is an institution.

Hmm.. Maybe they could change Harvest for carnivores.  Match up the steaks, chops etc....   ???

Ribs Ribs Ribs $89.99
3 Slabs of Ribs
1 Bottle Bar-B-Que Sauce
1 Bottle Rib Seasoning
Price includes FedEx 2-day delivery

Basically $30 / rack .. how good are they?

[Homer]

That's not a bad price. Locally I pay $20-$25/rack for cooked ribs. Corky's is pretty well known. ;)

Thank You. It is trying my patience. ;)

Corky's has very good ribs.  I lived in Memphis for two years, and while I found better, they were little hole in the wall places that obviously don't ship.  Memphis BBQ is pretty tart and spicy.  If you like that kind, you'll love Corky's, if you don't you won't....

I have friends that still ship me Corky's rub and sauce once a year.  I sweeten half the batch up with some brown sugar when I am having company.
