This is a picture of one of the first pits I ever played with fire on. It is a front loading stick burner and the grate was about 20" from the coals. A wooden cover was used for slo cooks.

Here is a home-made drum barbecue/smoker my grandpaw made in the '60's. It had a layer of concrete in the bottom and two cooking grates. If you look close, you can see a little chair by the cooker.....that was mine.

I have been lucky enough to win some photo "Throwdown" contests on The BBQ Brethren Forum in '08 and '09. These contests get between 7 to 25 or so entries, and the winner is selected by peoples choice. These are really fun, and have improved my photo taking skills tremendously.

Loin Back Ribs

The ever growing popularity of traditional style barbecue cooked at home has grown to an almost cult-like status. "Barbecue" to most people means pork, cooked long and low. Loin Ribs also called Baby Back Ribs, are one of the quickest cooks for the backyard pit boss requiring a short prep time and 4 or 5 hours of cooking time. Here are a few racks cooked "dry" or "Memphis Style" meaning no sauce or glaze was added during cooking. All the flavor comes from a dry rub and smoke.

I use my Big Green Egg just like an oven. Here is some Big Green Eggplant Parmesan. A little smoke gives the cheese a great flavor.
