Here at BBQ Shack we try to educate folk regarding the different types of regional BBQ that the USA has to offer and one of my favourite items is RIB TIPS, MOST POPULAR IN cHICAGO. For a little insight into one of the least documented regional varieties of BBQ have a look at this excellent short film.......http://skyfullofbacon.com/blog/?p=3116
an if you didn't watch it yet take a look at Tennessee whole hog cooking here.....http://vimeo.com/1535389

Only hae time at the minute to watch part one of the first video, cheers it took me back 35 years or so, great to see a butcher who is involved so much with his supplier.
Idiot question (No.1 one of doubtless a series) when he was breaking down the fore-end and talking about the chuck (5.50 in) that small rack of ribs are they the short ribs? I said it was an idiots question

Re: cHICAGO STYLE bbQ
i haven't fully watched the butchery film yet. there are 2 films on this link from the excellent blog ''sky full of bacon''. Most things they write or film are worth a view.

Always loved aquarium smokers, a real draw, but far too much hassle to manage them
