My favorite basketball teams haven't done well in the tournament this year, but it was a nice excuse to cook some pork spare ribs on Saturday. I used rib racks to easily cook 5 racks of ribs (roughly 10 lbs) in my WSM. Using the rib racks, cooking 10 racks of St. Louis cut spares is possible in the WSM (roughly 20 lbs of ribs).
I purchased some ribs from Gordon Food Service (GFS) last weekend to make some B.R.I.T.U. recipe St. Louis cut bbq pork spare ribs. It takes some extra time to thaw them, since they come frozen from the store, but overall I was very pleased with the quality and convenience of these ribs.
This morning I mixed up some B.R.I.T.U. ( B est R ibs I n T he U niverse) bbq rub to cook some St. Louis pork spare ribs today on my Weber Smokey Mountain water smoker. This rub recipe was made famous by Mike Scrutchfield. He used this recipe to win the American Royal Invitational bbq contest in the mid-1990's. I snapped a couple of pictures that d...
St. Patrick's day is this weekend and what better way to celebrate than to smoke your own Corned Beef. Here is a video with a nifty recipe that is done in an oven type smoker, but it should translate nicely to the Big Green Egg. And the for those of you that live in a place where you can't have a charcoal barbecue, the smoker shown here presents an...
I know it's only Tuesday, but the weather this week has been in the mid-60's with lots and lots of sunshine. I've got spring fever and I can't wait for the weekend. I haven't made pork ribs following the B.R.I.T.U. recipe in a several years. It's my first bbq session in 2012, so why not go back to basics? For anyone that might be stopping by the bl...
My wife Linda and I competed in barbecue contests for five years in the early 2000âs. I started out as a âhelper, dish washer, and box runnerâ with HomeBBQ.com and progressed to the point that I started my own team as chief navigator, bill payer, and cook of TheBBQGuy.com professional competition barbecue team.

Last weekend I wrote an article about using network marketing to help fund my bbq contest efforts. I think I've finally found the perfect fit - Jerky .

I was asked to comment for a proposed ThompsonReuters article about rising beef prices related to bbq grilling season. I think I missed the deadline for the article, but it made me think about a few things.... I view grilling and bbq cooking as a hobby. I think most people who grill on a regular basis view it similarly. Most people do not grill on ...

My co-workers took me to Slow's BarBQ on Michigan Avenue in Detroit for a birthday lunch earlier this week. I had the brisket entree with black beans and potato salad. For a bbq restaurant, the brisket was very good. I really enjoyed my lunch. It was my third trip to Slow's and the second time I actually got to eat bbq while I was there....
I wanted to share some research I've been doing regarding the cottage food laws that provide some possibilities to prepare certains types of food products from a homebased kitchen. Not all states offer this possibility, but certain states do. Here's a list . Farmer's Market Coalition has a nice article that offers sources for further research as we...
