    Yesterday (no pics) 6 slabs, 3 chickens, and a butt load of sausage. 16 seemingly very content relatives after lunch and supper.

    First time cooking a package of 

    Kiolbassa Chorizo

    Thought if did not work out just toss. Grilled and was outstanding. Will start adding to sausage grilling.

    You may be in for the same surprise that I found then. 
    3 slabs, not 2 as I expected.

    At the local Sam's sometimes they are called Extra Meaty Pork Back Rib's
    Other times they are called Loin Back Ribs.
    They packaging looks the same other than the names. They never have both at the same time.
    The one's I have cooking today are the loin backs. A friend told me the loin backs are really baby backs. 
    Who know's, but I think they will turn out great.

    I have always had pretty good luck with the meat from our local Sams (Gulfport).  On that note, sometimes they have the regular Smithfield ribs and sometimes they have the Prime reserve. Both are very good in my opinion. But the reserves are the better of the two. They are usually heftier than their counterpart. 

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Status- Standing by.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    My surprise was the opposite. We get our ribs from Cash & Carry, they are a restaurant supplier. Haven't bought ribs since last year. used to be 4-5 racks per pack. This time there was 2.
    Normally cook ribs on the Reverse Flow, 275*-325* so "turbo" is the only way it cooks them. They come out as good as they do off the Egg at 225*.
