This past week I had a family event to attend and caught a ride with my brother in law. On the way BBQ comes up and here what he asked me, and I quote "If I wanted to grill a brisket, should I boil it first like ribs?" I must have made an awful expression cause then he said "you know, how your supposed to boil the ribs first to make them tender." I responded "I wouldn't, I don't, and talk like that will get you shot in some places." Funny thing is he spent a couple years in the Carolinas, missionary work, but you'd think he'd pick something up.
