Spareribs are "Bigger" than Babyback ribs. If they are cooked just right - they will melt in your mouth - fall off the bone just as good as babybacks will. Some people prefer Sparerib Slabs over Babyback Racks - "Me" I like both - but I tend to lean more toward Babyback - but if you are going to feed a lot of "hungry folks" Slabs would be better. (This recipe is for the Grill) Use Hardwood or Lump Charcoal - You can also use a gas grill just add wood chips for the smoke flavor that "Everybody" loves.

Grilling with a kick!!
The Right Rub
A bold blend of seasonings rubbed right onto the meat adds a direct hit of exciting flavor.
Rubbing food with spices prior to grilling is a trouble-free, fat-free way to add flavor. Grilling transforms the rub into a crunchy brown crust that seals in the juices and enhances the flavors of the food underneath.
Be generous with your rub, applying it with a hearty, but not heavy, hand, and coat the entire surface. Rub it into the food a little so it will adhere, then cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 2 hours.
There are no boundaries to the ingredients you can use in a rub. To achieve the optimum balance of flavors, and avoid overpowering the food, it's best to lean toward simplicity. Salt is a must ingredient because it helps round out tastes and reacts with the natural juices in meat and seafood to help the flavors penetrate the flesh. Sugars can produce a delightful caramelized crunch on grilled foods, but should be applied lightly because they burn easily.

Lets have a Barbecue!!!
You know it used to be called a "Back Yard" Cook out. Then some genus in marketing said "Lets call it a barbecue" so everything you cook outdoors is now called a "Barbecue" You can buy a Barbecue "Grill" that will cook "Down Home Barbecue" Good sales pitch - wrong answer.
This makes me wonder about what people will believe as the truth. The truth is "that ain't right" Barbecue is Barbecue, no matter how you cook it or how you spell it. We ain't having a Barbecue in the back yard on the grill - "that's a cook out" not "True" Barbecue.
Sales pitch - got to love the guys trying to make a buck. True Barbecue is done on a Pit or over a Pit - "Not a grill" Now don't get me wrong, you can do Barbecue "ON" a grill, but it is not "True" Barbecue, only home made. If you want to learn about "True" Barbecue there are many good web sites that will tell you the Truth about Barbecue and what to do and how to cook it.
I will post some great Barbecue recipes, you can make some mouth watering smack your lips - lick your fingers - smack your Momma Barbecue - It takes time and the willingness to learn what BBQ is all about.

Lets talk Bar-be-cue - Bar-be-que - "QUE"
How did Barbecue start? I have no idea.
It might have started in Texas. Why? Everything starts in Texas.
Texas Barbecue is Beef (no pork) and maybe some Chicken.
Texas Barbecue is Beef Ribs, Brisket,and good times.
How did Pork come in to play as a Barbecue? That's easy, Texas had all the cows.
All anybody else had were Hogs and Chickens.
So people had to cook something.
How did Barbecue start? I think somebody fell asleep cooking and the coals got low and the meat looked like it got burnt (Crust) but it turned out great!!! (Lucky for them)
"Hey I invented Barbecue" (you had to say something)
( the meat looked burnt - the wife was really bent out of shape - but it was OK you had a plan. This is how great things come into being, most of the time by a mistake and a wife that "is not happy about it"
But whoever started it, all agree Barbecue must be done low (heat) and slow (takes many hours) to produce what is truly great Barbecue.
There are all kinds of woods to give Barbecue that lip smack'n taste of great "QUE" One thing is for sure, "You can't rush Barbecue" It is a tradition that has been handed down from many generations and from some of the best cooks in the world.
My take on it, "Low and Slow wins every time, and I love that lip smack'n finger lick'n stuff no matter how you spell it!!"

1/2 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons chopped jarred pimento
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Put a well-oiled 9-inch cast-iron skillet into a cold oven and heat the oven

1 (8-1/2 oz.) can cream-style corn
1 cup sour cream
1 cup yellow corn meal
3 jalapeño chiles, seeded and minced
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons chopped jarred pimento
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Put a well-oiled 9-inch cast-iron skillet into a cold oven and heat the oven
to 400ºF. In a large bowl, combine the eggs and butter and work together
with a fork. Stir in all the remaining ingredients until well mixed. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and pour the batter into the pan. Return the pan to the oven and bake until firm to the touch, about one hour. The crust will be a deep golden brown. Cut into wedges and serve hot. If desired, spread with extra butter.

King Ranch Chicken Casserole
This recipe was posted by Henry, on a BBQ list I used to be on called "The Porch". Great List to be on and the "Best" people in the world to learn from. (I left when we moved to the new house, and just hadn't had time to rejoin yet) Macdaddy
a.. 1 10-1/2 oz can cream of chicken soup
b.. 1 19-1/2 oz can cream of mushroom soup
c.. 2 Cups chicken broth
d.. 1 10-oz can Rotel tomatoes and green chilies
e.. 12 corn tortillas cut in pieces
f.. 1 3-4 lb chicken, cooked and cut into bite sized pieces
g.. 1 large onion chopped
h.. 2 c grated American cheese
------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine soups, chicken broth and tomatoes and set aside. In a 3 qt. casserole, layer half of the
tortilla pieces, half of chicken, half of onion and half of cheese in the casserole. Pour half
the chicken broth mixture over layers. Repeat layers of tortilla, chicken and onion, then pour
remaining chicken broth mixture over top and remaining cheese.
Bake 350º 45-50 minutes.
This may be frozen and reheated and will taste great.

Comments from a fellow Cook and Friend
Terry:
I hope I might suggest a few minor modifications to this message.
I believe items for grilling can be handled differently than those for smoking, in general.
Grilling is usually for cut meat products, and smoking is usually for whole (true trimmed sometimes) products.
Grilling is usually a touchy-feely matter of cooking over heat-flames of enduring higher heat. Surfaces receive that direct heat and then radiated heat starts to occur.
Most restaurants (higher quality) do not leave their beef steaks on the counter at room temp, but they cannot just wait to take them from 34 degree refrigerator storage.
They will house season and immerse to cover in peanut oil. No air or contaminants get to the meat. A wipe off removes anything visible and flames discard anything else.
Now if your meat is 1-1/2" to 2" thick, a medium or rare interior may be desired, with a charred outside. Fine. Grilling with added smoke is fine, with a very cool (not frozen) center. Make it look great, and then let it rest, for rare to medium rare. If your cut is not individual portions, but a larger cut to cook and slice to serve, you will need a longer warm period to start cooking, but not too much.
I gathered you were talking about Steaks, probably 1" thick or less.
Just thought my $0.02 might be of some value, for future posts.
(That was in response to what I had written below) "Thank you Henry, this is why I do value your input and knowledge on these matters of Home Cooking - Camp fire cooking - Cooking on the Grill - and doing Barbecue - "QUE" - the right way". Macdaddy
"A little more info about meat"
"Let me talk about meat a little more. When you marinade your meat in the fridge (6 to 24 hrs.) or you are just going to cook it naked, before you through (maybe "throw") it on the grill or smoker let it set out and come to room temperature. Don't take it right out of the fridge and toss it on the grill or smoker. Why? It will be cold on the inside. It will cook on the outside but will not be done on the inside and take a whole lot longer to cook (char broiled on the outside, still mooing on the inside) So as you are pre heating your grill and fixing whatever else you are serving, let it warm up to take the chill off the meat. It will cook better, now don't let it sit out all day, but take it out and let it warm up 25 to 30 mins. if it has been in the fridge for more than 6 hrs. Trust me you can see and taste the difference. When cold meat is put on the grill or smoker you play a guessing game. And that ain't good. More later. Macdaddy "

How to remove Odors
There was a piece in the paper today about paint odors.
It said to remove the odor of fresh paint, cut up a couple of Onions to remove the smell.
Yeah-Right.
One, my wife would complain about the smell of paint.
Two, if I cut an Onion to get rid of the smell, I might as well sleep in the garage-with the "Onion"
Next they will tell you to suck on a Lemon every day to make your teeth white and that beans don't make you fart.
Yeah-Right.

Baked Vidalia Onions
These are great, but my wife don't like onions, or the smell. I can get away with using an onion in some cooking (but very rarely)
Anyway- this is great- quick- and easy. (pre-heat oven to 350)
Ok, depending on how many you want to fix. You use a Tbs. of butter and W. Sauce for each onion, so you can fix 1 or 2 or 4 or 6 (you get the idea)
4 to 6 Vidalia Onions (peeled and cored)
4 to 6 Tbs. of real butter
4 to 6 Tbs. Worcestershire Sauce
Heavy-duty Aluminum Foil
Peel and core the onions- try not to cut through to the bottom, when you cut the core ( use a small thin blade knife ) you may have to take a spoon and dig some out.
Place each onion on a large enough square of foil to be able to cover and twist to seal in the onion.
Place a Tbs. of butter and Worcestershire in each onion and bring the edges of the foil to the top and twist firmly.
Place on a flat baking pan and bake at 350 for 45 mins. or until soft.
You can spice them up too if you want by adding a little Cajun Seasoning to the inside or outside before you wrap them in foil.
