How to Cook Competition-Ready Ribs in Your Own Backyard

I love barbecue...that is pretty obvious. Grilling, smoking, camaraderie, drinking, family, good food, competition, and a live fire all make for one hell of a weekend! 

My barbecue roots started in competitions first as an attender and then as a team member. I never placed, but we did have a lot of fun. Over the years, I have tried to perfect my craft in barbecue, just in my own backyard. And there is a HUGE difference between backyard que and competition que.
