There's like 500 groups doing BBQ. A lot are just civvies who have made their own set-ups - everything from split 55 gallon oil drums to things much larger. And I am not licensed to carry so no way I am criticizing their cooking.

A wise decision! I do not care for the ribs that have too much gooey sauce slathered all over them. A dry rub work for my taste, no matter how spicy it is!

With all the talk about BBQ, my wife and I just finished a BBQ dinner of brisket, baked beans and corn casserole. Ummm....GP

So the after-effects of the baked beans will smell like BBQ sauce?

Good morning all.
Settling into a new routine. Been a busy last week with the Mayo Clinic and started 2nd cycle of chemo plus buying a new stove. Oven element took a big puke it broke up into piece it was hard wired so no replacing the element. Oh well, stove was 24 years old. Boy have stoves change since I bought one for my old house 24 years ago. Most appliances and HVAC in Grand Forks are 24 years old in the existing homes from back then. The 1997 flood. Everything new in the kitchen now except the fridge. Also picked up a $490 kick ass smoker last week for free. Cabela's points on my credit card. Schweet. Old furnace vent in the garage works perfect for venting the smoker. First on the list a beef brisket with a simple dry rub. Then baby back ribs. Neighbors are going to hate me with all those aromas wafting in the air. I may need a security system.

I do not know if you have been to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. If you do go there, I suggest trying Hardy's BBQ there.

I lived in Rochester for 5 years and John Hardy's is good. But, I've also lived in Memphis for 5 years and now NC for 19 years. I'm spoiled for BBQ.

Mike, sounds like you're going to need a new smoker to go with the new house....GP

I will be grilling a lot but I don't have the patience for smoking meats. I'd rather enjoy eating it.

Garage is detached. Plus an unused furnace vent near the smoker, fits well on a work bench next to a window. A perfect setup. Prices for dining around the Mayo Clinic are crazy. Up to $75 for a T-bone, $55 for prime rib of a steak dinner for two is only $110.We did Dominos Pizza pick-up. A large Extravaganza under $15. Cheaper than here in Grand Forks. My best friend is a pro on knowing the ins and outs of Rochester and the Mayo. Overall a good time. He went down for his back me over to urology. We will be both going back down for surgeries in August/September. He back surgery me bladder replacement. We are going to be a couple of sorry asses on the way back. He on his stomach me on my back. His wife will be our driver on the way back. God help us. She does not do well driving through Minneapolis.

Bypass the Twin Cities if you have to. Go over to Mankato then NW from there to I-29.

Best of luck to you both, Marc! Glad to hear you have a pretty good support network as well.

Yes. Me too. I am super pickey on BBQ. A good dry rub. There is a Mediterranean style recipe out there that I think is the best. There was a restaurant called LaBrasa in town that had the best. Unfortunately they moved to England so wife will be close to home.
