    The Humor Thread

    He is Stretch from Grinders in KC. He's been on a few shows with Guy Fieri including Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, Guys Big Bite, and few others. He's also been on the Travel Channel and Discovery Channel. He's considered a chef; but more of an entertainer.

    Start-Up Questions for 22.5 - 12 racks of BB

    I have a Gateway rib hanger, that I usually do only 8 slabs on, but yes you could fit 12 with the Lavalock which comes with 12 hooks. You can always flip them halfway through your cook. I don’t, but then again I wrap them after I get the color I like and put the racks back in and lay them in...
