At a friends on the island and have to do ribs on Friday. Looking to find an egg head that might be able to help me out. 
Thanks in advance.

    Take a short drive into Naples and go see Jimmy P's for all things meat and meat related.  They have cap of ribeye for $19.99/lb.  Lots of berkshire pork products, pork belly, etc.  They'll have your ribs and plenty of other things that you might want to try.

    Thanks for the offer. I was sort of worried about being able to do ribs properly on the gasser here. But now someone is bringing a whole bunch of shrimp so the plans have changed once again. They often seem to around here. 

    And @thetrim we went to another couples last night and he had ribs and steaks from Jimmy P’s and they were excellent. 

    Thanks to both of you.

    If you need the use of my egg let me know. I’m close by until mid April and I have Rockwood. If you get a chance try the Berkshire chops from jimmy p’S. I guess we are neighbours in Canada as well!

    I wrote ribs and steaks above. Was thinking ribs still and misspoke. He cooked steaks and the Berkshire chops. Excellent. 

    We’re only here for a week. Just a quick burn and back to work. :(

    I don’t know what shops you have in Sarasota.  I wouldn’t drive to Naples just for Jimmy‘s, but I almost always stop in and pick up some items when I’m down there for work.

    Jimmy has Waygu and Kobe beef, Berkshire pork. Everything is the best. A bit of a drive, but we go there regularly. Nothing like it at home (Canada).  We are here until mid April. I get more bbq time here than at home.

    Thanks guys. Ended up doing shrimp in garlic butter with chilies and ginger and it was pretty good. I’ve told a few folks about this and no one believed me that someone would even be willing to let a total stranger come use their BGE. I said they don’t know how great the BGE community is. Open doors and open Eggs. 
    Thanks again everyone.

    The people on this forum are all great. On a road trip vacation now, and every place we have stopped, I have reached out to people I know are from that area. Each and everyone has been super kind, helpful and friendly. 
    There is something special about this group. I do not know why or the reason, but regardless, I am glad it is the way it is and the people are the way they are.
