Tailgating 2015! What Do You Do About Ribs?

Ribs…..

Num Num.

I hope I never have to order a last meal.

But if I did, well I know what it would be. Slow cooked, slow smoked full size wrap  your hand around BBQ pork ribs.

I have literally traveled the world….well at least the US, searching for the finest BBQ, the best beer, and the most beautiful accommodating women.

Now that I am married, it is down to ribs and beer.

Oh well, I love my life and would not have it any other way.

But back to ribs.

I love ’em.

But they have to be cooked right.

Smoked for six hours minimum, 12 if you want to do it right.

I boil mine before I start the smoking process.

Then I get my remote controlled smoker going, head for church, then come back and watch a little pregame commentary.

I pull them out, and either sauce them up or smear on the dry rub and get to it.

But how do you do that at Arrowhead?

I have no clue.

I see people smoking them but I have a three hour drive to the stadium, and I like to sleep late, so that is out for me.

I see people (Oh God Help Us All) GRILLING the poor things. 

Therefore I won’t attempt it.

I grab a rack at Arthur Bryannts, LC’s, or Gates depending on my mood and my company, then  walk around the stadium like a cave man.

Dripping ribs in one hand, ice (and I do mean ice cold,  I have a Yeti, but more on that later), beer in the other, I traverse the landscape,

in search of  politically charged football debates, other varieties of food and drink, and of course tailgating set ups.

If I see you and you have something tasty like I don’t know anything really, I will ask for a taste so be ready.

Also cheerleaders, players, and anything of value I might find blowing around, such as ticket or parking pass upgrades.

It’s a grand life, and unlike other interests, (more accurately obsessions), one you do not need to ever get to old for.

But as far as ribs, well I call upon my AA family.

Let me know.

How do you cook good ribs with a tailgate set up?
