We have a store here that sells rather high end meats and other foods.
Caters to the very wealthy. Some of their ribs are very tender without
the need to slow cook. However, I prefer ribs smoked and the much lower
priced ribs come out great Q'd. Sometimes a recipe doesn't lend itself
to the addition of smoke. In that case I'll slow cook it in the oven.
It just depends on the end result I want as to how I cook something.
