No problem for you cuz you're signed in and looking at your "My Photos".
When you're not signed in...it wouldn't work for you either.

I use the "Preview in Community" link in the "More" section on the right.

Hey Bruce, if I send my cousine over there would you give her one rack and I will have her stick it in the mail? Thanks buddy. =P~

 

[Bruce B]

Get her on her way, she's got until about 6 or 6:30p to get here.

OK, put the ribs on at 1:45pm; at 2:45pm the lid temp is at 242 and the top rate is at 214, time to start closing down the vents, be right back.

Made my first batch of brisket chili this afternoon... Had a little chunk of brisket leftover from the weekend... (actually guarded it so I would have it for chili)

Just used my favorite easy chili recipe and substituted the chopped brisket in place of the ground beef or turkey. Turned out really good ! =D>

What recipie did you use. Come on and share!

Here ya go guys and gals, the baby back report.

I put the ribs on at 1:45p, using 4 small chunks of cherry and 2 chunks of pecan wood, cooking temps held throughout the cook between 225-235. At 4:00p I spritzed the ribs with apple juice. At 5:15p I checked the ribs and they were nearly done, they past the tear test and the bend test easily. At this point I sauced them and returned them to the cooker until 5:45p

They were extremely tender, not falling off the bone, but with your bite the bone came clean. As far as the sauces go; I thought the Slabs sauce matched well with their rub and it was very tasty, minimaly sweet , but tomatoey, very slight vinegar background with a peppery finish, also a very noticeable pieces of spices or something in there, has a mouthfeel to it. A "just about right" amount of heat. Not sweet enough for the wife and daughter. This sauce and their rub has partly led to the Slabs being if not the hottest, one of the hottest teams on the KCBS circuit this year.

The Sticky Fingers sauce was very good, a KC style sauce, sweet but not overpowering, excellent flavor, no heat to speak of. I enjoyed it as did the spouse and off-spring. For coming from a commercial chain of Q restaraunts, it is the best Q restaraunt sauce I have ever tasted.

Olde Ray's, however, won the day. This sauce is sweet and has a very distinct apple flavor with small bits of apple or apple pulp in the sauce and just a hint of cinnamon. It matched extremely well with the pork flavor and was unique as BBQ sauces go. It's a keeper.

I would not hesitate to buy either sauce again. I have uploaded the remaining pictures, use the links above to view.
