Forget the game, what are ya eating during the stomach bowl?

Thanks to an administration that apparently hates fun, my Superbowl Sunday was spent drinking coffee rather than beer. Physio exam the morning after the Superbowl? Come on.

Who's up for the Bacon Explosion?

My brother in law made one for his party yesterday. I only ate about half of it... not enough bacon!

Slow-smoked spare ribs over a mix of apple and peach wood (7 hours approximately), ....

Am I the only guy on the planet who has no use for slow-smoked ribs?

Give me a roaring mesquite fire and flame some baby backs for 20 minutes or so; outside charred, inside still with some integrity and need to be ripped off the bone.

You haven't had bbq until it's slow-smoked. I don't cook my ribs til they're fall of the bone. I like tug too, but slow-smoking gives the perfect tug if you do it right. I flame kiss them at the end for carmelization puposes. Also, if you're doing baby backs a better wood is cherry or apple since it goes very well with pork. Mesquite is a beef wood (i.e. steak).

You are making me hungry. This sounds damn good. Not that I would scoff at gh's ribs or lamb either. Prosit, gentlemen!

This is an example of the finished product. No mush, just ribified goodness.

I roasted whole lambs in my backyard for 30 years ...

Isn't 30 years just a bit long to roast even a whole lamb? You must like your meat well done!

This is what you want - an Argentinian asado:

Especially if you're going for beef over pork. I've never had it done better.

I roasted whole lambs in my backyard for 30 years (one year two lambs at once) w/ a similar contraption I made out of rebar and fenceposts.

Is that picture they show the Bacon Explosion or a cloose up of your arteries after eating one?

Oh and squackee & mike, next time you're in Britain, we have better beers than Bass. Although Newcastle Brown's not bad. Although I'm more of a Guinness and alcoholic cider fan myself when I'm drinking pints. I don't really drink beer, apart from the odd glass of Hoegaarden.

if I wanted dreary meat falling off the bone I'd eat a pot roast; don't go anywhere near that either. Meat's supposed to feel like meat, not mashed potatoes.

apple & cherry are fine for bacon, but not for ribs.

Sorry to tell you bro but the last several winners of the Memphis in May BBQ championship used apple and cherry wood to much success. Give it a try before you disagree.

Dreary meat, falling off the bone? Who's cooking your food? :lol:
