We're BGE users and a fellow BGE user explained how to do baked beans on the
Egg. You take a needle and thread and carefully thread the beans together.
I suppose the same principle could be applied for sauerkraut <g>

Plus, spares are about $1.79/# right now. St. Louis trimmed are $2.39/#.
Rib tips (if you can find 'em) are $.99/#. Trim 'em yourself, save money
and use the tips in beans, chili, soups, stews, or just smoke 'em right
along with the ribs for a special treat to nibble on as the ribs smoke.

Great price - also very useful for the base of Pasta Sauce. Nothing beats
the flavor of Pork - It's a must!

We got 12 pounds of spares this morning for $1.49 a pound. Looking
forward to the 4th. I'll probably won't do them till the 5th though.

When I was feeding a family, I saved the tips and the flap to put into
the tomato sauce a/k/a "gravy." I used to do that 6 hour Sicilian thing
with the meatballs, sausages, pork rib trims, and a chicken breast on
the bone. Sometimes a couple of pieces of bracciole, all in a huge stock
pot with at least 4 big cans of tomatoes and 4 of tomato paste.

My kids were in college before they tasted store-bought spaghetti sauce
or canned soup. Looking back---boy was I obsessive!

I've been pricing lawn mowers (Mom pays a lawn service that, as far as I can
tell, does little to nothing). I've noticed many of the web sites indicate
gas powered mowers cannot be sold in CA. A little too little, a little too
late.

No, just a backyard cooker.
Actually, it's American English. All is available on the internet if you

CostCo only carries spare ribs here in Austin. Texans don't mess

That's not waste (except the shine bone). That's the best part of
the spares up there by the tips. I cook them whole.

Jill,

What? you represent Memphis to me!

What's a poor boy to do, visit Carolina?

That ain't my idea of Southern, for some reason.

Hell, I'll bring my golf clubs. We can play around!

When a woman sings to you, you develop a certain fondness.

But in general I am a flirt. In public, I just make people smile. I dunno
how.

Big babies are rare around here. We skip the husbandry and breed
them full grown here.

Well, Andy, I'd love to have a date with you
at Primanti's but I don't recall a date having
been planned before now. Are you cheating with
me with some other Kate? ;-) I hope not. Let me
know when you're going to be in Pittsburgh! :-)

No, I don't smoke them. I have a smoker but have never
used it for ribs, in fact don't use it much at all. Too
lazy, I guess. I really should try it. When I first got
the smoker I made a smoked turkey for T-day. It turned out
great but that was more than 5 years ago. I smoked a couple
of other things in the next few years but then I got out of
the habit.

Anyway, I most just bake the ribs either with
BBQ sauce or I make ribs and sauerkraut.

I just did in another post. Anyway, try using a metal
screen over the grill for the sauerkraut. Smoked
sauerkraut would be awesome. ;-)

If you're not going to use that smoker you should give it to someone
who will. A friends neighbor was cleaning out his garage and asked me
if I wanted one he wasn't using. Like yours, it only had a few uses
on it. I've upgraded a few times but I re-gifted the original one and
someone else has learned the art of smoking.

Kate,

You scream "Pittsburgh," I'll be there!!!

Getting rid of the indoor beehives.

I'll treat you more than right, when the time comes!

I promise!

Pittsburgh can be a memory. Pick another place we'd rather be!?

LOL I don't play around, and Andy couldn't play a round (at least not on
this island) without paying some hefty fees. Dad sold his club membership
several years before he died.

Well heck, Kansas ain't southern This is the Deep South. Totally
different world from the mid-South from whence I came. I haven't tried any
of the ribs here (yet). There are signs for some deep pit Q places off the
beaten paths but I haven't followed said paths (yet).

I was going to but Google Goups was complaining. I really don't care
all that much for ribs other than with saurkraut.
