It was probably about the third time I spritzed the ribs that I really questioned my decisions. I’m not much of a New Year’s Resolution type, but maybe in 2023, I will refrain from putting on the apron and standing outside like an idiot as my beard freezes. When the weather finally returned to the 30s later in the month, I decided to try the pellet grill with a recip... Full story
