<<We have a big Weber kettle grill, but Chris says you can't barbecue in them, he says they are too hot, and only good for things like steaks and burgers. How do you do your ribs? >>

He, he. And I think a Weber is only good for BBQing and turkeys and not hot enough for steaks and burgers. Steaks need hot, hot and I also like flames. The best steak houses cook them at 1,800 degrees, a Weber kettle might hit 450.

Depending on how many I cook I either have the ribs at one handle and the fire at the other or with a bunch I have the fire in the middle and the ribs around the outside.

Small fire, mebbe 10 brickets with wet hickory on top. Smoke them say 1/2 hour turning once or twice. Add brickets before the fire goes out and add as needed. Cook them say 45 minutes. Then the last 45 minutes slop on the sauce.

Tell Chris that a smaller fire produces less heat, at least that's my guess but I don't have a college degree. And closing the vents part way also makes for a slower burn. And do it in the shade.

Edit- I also have a large skillet that just fits on my grill. Will do 3 dozen eggs at a time. Makes a great fish fryer for large groups.
