Ribs, Ribs everywhere you look, I've got ribs. I just finished 3 hours of pulling the membrane off 85 slabs of spares. I'm cooking for a little over 300 for lunch tomorrow. I'm not sure that I can pull this off by myself. I've got 3 girls to help me with the potato salad and ranch beans. Wopee! Besides all the ribs, I've got 70# of Millers link sausage (good stuff from Llano - very mild) and 12 briskets. I've already cooked the briskets, sliced them up, foiled in full pans and put in the walkin. I'll put them back on the pit later in the morning for warmup. I plan on starting the pit around 3am and put the first 30 -40 on by 4am. Plan to pull them at 8am and put on the rest. I'll then slice them up, and put them in full pans, very loosely foil and put some in my warmer, some in the oven, and some in an old warming bin that I'll have to load up with sterno's since the heating unit is not in the bin any longer. I'll try to update when I can. Did I mention I've got 2 Pro-AM golf tournaments to run at the same time that I'm cooking? Can you spell STRESS!:frusty:

Well, at 4:00am I filled The Extreme up with 32 slabs of ribs. Dang that's a lot of pork! There's no way I'm gonna pull this off. I've still got 53 more slabs to cook, not to mention 70 pounds of sausage. Guess I'll warm the briskets up in the kitchen oven, and might have to do the suasage on the kitchen grill. Where's Redneck when I need him?

I'll bet he is not getting paid "extra" for this. I think Mike does these as part of his "regular" golf pro duties.

Well, it's 1:45 here on the Right Coast...I wonder how the feed went.
My bet is that he did it successfully and comes back here dog-tired to prove it. :D

Dang you got too much excess energy to de-brain all them ribs. That is where knowing how to cut the mark of Zorro comes in handy. Just cut a few Zs and Xs through there. Save the energy for the purty senoritas:)

It is alive! Barely, but alive. All went well. Actually a huge hit!!! :thumbs:
I remembered what Bill does, and it worked for me as well. I found the "hot spot" on the pit and started there. Then kept rotating new slabs every 30 minutes or so. I eventually had ribs stacked 4, 5 and 6 racks high, slow cooking. 85 racks, 16 - 10 pound briskets and 70 pounds of sausage later and all I got left is a pan of ribs. I bought a new Mr. Twister Filet knife and looked like I knew what I was doing. For the record book, Texas WILD is just flat AWESOME!!! I had my Qfest shirt on and had people asking all kinds of questions about Gator Pits The Extreme and Texas BBQ Rub. I know that there will be some new orders from Waco for rub. I did not put sauce on anything, but did serve on the side for those who wanted it. This was a charity cook for the local hospitals children's hospice golf tournament(http://www.hillcrest.net/hhs2.cfm?id=236). They raised over $80,000, and I'm just glad that I could do something to help. Now if I can just get some sleep.
