I've tried the spare ribs, they were £30 for 10kg. They came out pretty well, definitely can't grumble at that price. Are they as good as a fresh rack from the butcher? No they're not, but they are about a third of the price. If you're feeding loads of bodies they're excellent value.

Thanks for the advice gents. To be honest I was hoping that might be the case, the thought of deep cleaning after every cook was a bit soul destroying. The cooking is great, the eating is better, the cleaning...not so much fun.

Haha thanks Tiny, appreciate the advice. :lol:

Hello gents

I did indeed get my first cook done on Saturday. I cooked 3 racks of Spare ribs, rubbed with Meatheads Memphis Dust. I used apple wood chunks to smoke.

Any words ...

Hi All

Just joined the forum and wanted to say hi. I live in Norfolk, UK.

I've been heavily into BBQing for a while now and finally upgraded my gear to a Weber One-Touch Premium a couple of months ago, which I am in love with. I've been steadily getting hooked on low and slow cooking and smoking ...
