What are you cookin' for the 4th?


 
Tri-Tip in Florida?

Winn Dixie? Publix? Sam's Club?

Publix!!! I had been to all the stores in town that carry meats. Nobody had it. Even went to the Publix right next to me where I always shop. No luck. Checked at The Fresh Market and the meat guy said to try the Publix across the street. It
Is a bigger than usual Publix with a cooking school area in it. Went over there and it was there. As I was looking at the other meats, the butcher asked if I needed help. We chatted and he told me that they always carry it. He said it's not
Usually out front, but they keep a case of it on hand.
 
Got my rub made and my mop sauce ready. It's the 4th of July and BB Ribs are on the menu. Happy 4th of July everyone!

I've got my 14.5" WSM set up and ready to rock a slab of BBs.
Gonna roll 'em to fit, I might try cutting lightly between each rib on the bone side and put them on a flat side, not like this:

I have to try rolling them like that. I really wanted to use my 22" WSM, but it's such overkill for two slabs, it would be silly. I think I could fit 2 rolled ribs on my SJ-Mini? That just might be today's calling
 
Fitting a 15" long slab of BBs on a 14.5" WSM.
I cut lightly between each rib, on the bone side, and pinned the ends up with plans to keep the ends from getting overdone.
A little bacon for snacking on later also added.
Now my pic test using Flickr and my cell phone.
Google Photos does not play well with my phone pics.
