I've used that link before, you just can't get the good stuff here.

I'm hoping to snag some RO at Wally World next time I'm there... but I never go there...

Almost forgot, I'm doing some country ribs shortly. I thought it would be a good dinner, but I have to sail tonight... maybe I should let them sit in the rub until tomorrow.

For my pit Im getting some Mesquite logs and some Pecan wood from a nearby Pecan orchard. My grandfathers giving me his reciepe for an awesome rub. Hes all excited that Im digging a pit in my yard and wants to come help. Hes turning 83 on the 25th and is still as strong as a bull. Love him like crazy!

I've never used pecan, do you have to strip all the bark off of it? For some reason I remember someone saying it changes the flavor for the best by removing pecan bark.

I don't know about pecan specifically, but some people strip the bark off all their wood chunks for fear of poor flavor.

ive never stripped the bark off pecan before. usually its so nice and dry most has fallen off itself. ive not noticed any taste difference when ive used it, it does burn pretty hot though, but makes some really nice coals.

Like alder, I always strip the bark off alder if I'm going to use it for smoking...it seems to make the end product taste bitter. I was just curious since I'd never heard of using pecan, I bet it'd be good though!

Smoked some country ribs yesterday for about 2 hours, then finished with some high heat for some nice marks, plus time was limited. Two were wet, two were dry. CP prefered the wet ones, but the dry ones were freaking awesome!

I customized the baked beans with some garlic and chopped onions sweated off, then added Sweet Baby Rays, brown sugar, cayenne and black pepper. Reduced the mix for awhile and then added it to the beans. Then let the beans reduce for awhile. They were the best bean I've made to date. Thick and saucy!!!

That was all about a young hottie named Miss Ellie losing her virginity! She was about 16 when she got her cherry popped by the 24 year old Jock Ewing!!! And the slut she turned into as soon as it happened! You know, the way things were back in the good old days!

Make 'em even better next time with half a cup of salt meat (very small cubes) or chopped bacon.

Today is baby back rib day!

Steaming them in a concoction of beer, liquid smoke, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, and cayenne pepper for 2 hours first!

Then it's to the grill with apple wood smoke and a honey bbq sauce bath!

I forgot the bacon... I'll cook the bacon until crisp (someone in this house doesn't like barely cooked bacon...), then add it to the beans with the rest of the goodies.

I have a sudden craving for ribs.
