Awww, come on. Rev is from the area where they think ketchup is a spice.
Eupher, next trip down, beef short ribs will be on the venue. And yes, they CAN be done on the grill or in the smoker quite easily and come out very good.
Rev, that was a nice gesture by your friends. I can't fault them for that.
I just remember a day that I was being lazy and my smoker hadn't been set up and I looked at some oven ready baby backs. The price was $11.00 for ONE rack of ribs!!! I could buy THREE racks of the same ribs for just a couple of dollars more.
