I think my 5 pounds of ribs costed me $5.00 and I drank beer and smoked cigars while the smoker did it’s thing. Only tended it once when up and running.

Got a cast aluminum box with newer grill and a load of mesquite charcoal that I brought back from Texas to grill our steaks on. I use a mix of hardwood charcoal with the mesquite to give a set of really hot coals to grill on. Mesquite shoots off a lot of "sparks" of burning bits really attractive in the evening hours when cooking.

The best Prime Rib that I ever made was on a Weber Kettle. 30 years later, my brother still talks about it. Not smoked prime rib mind you, roasted using the indirect method with a drip pan under the meat Yup. I will do a pork butt for up to 16 hours @ 275. The great thing is it lets me sit on my deck for 2 days and tell the wife "I'm working". There are better cookers on the market, just not sure how you can beat the value of a Webber. Best pork butt I ever ate was at a buddys camper. It even fell off the plate on to the deck.

Thank you. I used to finish the ribs off by wrapping in foil for the last few hours and they slipped off the bone, tasted great and no one ever complained, but it lacked the texture that the big dogs have in competition. If you look at the ribs, there is a crack in the meat...once you lift them from the grill with tongs and the center cracks, they are done on a slow cook...great texture. Wife hated ribs till she ate mine, now loves them. Slips off the bone. No contest to where you have to leave tooth marks in the rib. Whatever flicks you hot button.
