    Ribs experiment - test 2

    Rib question

    If you were catering ribs for a large group, would you precook them, a day before short an hour or so and finish them the day of the gig ? I was thinking if I was doing that, it would be a good dog and pony show to have the smoker burning full of ribs, butts, sausage and/or and briskets
