We'll see how it goes! I can do steaks, burgers, chicken, roasts but ribs are a bit of a mystery to me!

Here's a nice tutorial to get you off to a good start.

BBQ/party at my place. Not sure what I'm cooking though. Probably traditional burgers and dogs for some folks, but also some good brats, maybe some ribs and/or steaks, grilled corn on the cob, probably grill up some peppers and onions, make some fresh guacamole, and cut up some sweet cantaloupe. I think the GF is going to make some homemade baked beans (if we get them soaking tonight).

Oh and beer too.

Thanks for the post Fimco.
I would adjust the recipe a bit by adding japalino juice instead of the slalsa during the cooking process.
But this is something I would try as we love the south west flavor at my house.
