Putting this thread in the Pit is like putting a glob of ketchup into the Gates Extra Hot. Or something even milder than ketchup, like Houston BBQ. ---

I actually had a BBQ-related accident. I was messing around with this rib, see, and my eagerness was immediately accompanied by some well-placed grease on which my finger slipped. My thumbnail rammed into my index finger so hard and made a small blood-blister on said index finger. ---

> [@](#): > > I’d like to complain about the BBQ here. What’s this bullshit with the ribs coming bare and the BBQ sauce in a jar on the table? You are clearly uncultured in the ways of BBQ. Dry rub ribs are the way to go. A small amount of yellow mustard (which burns off and does not add to the taste) should be used to make the dry rub stick to the frozen ribs. If sauce is used, it should be cooked until it resembles the surface of a meat loaf. Sauce should be served on the side. ---

In addition to no BBQ in the BBQ Pit, there’s no sex in the Champagne Room. ---
