Shewchuk is a Vancouver based competitor who really knows his stuff. This is a good beginner’s guide to serious barbecue with many of his competition recipes. Unfortunately there are only two recipes for ribs. One is called “Cheater ribs” for people in a hurry, and it involves boiling water. This oversight is balanced by the quality of the other recipe for ribs and his great advice on everything from brisket to smoked duck salad. Ingredients are measured in both standard English measurements (pounds, cups, tablespoons, Fahrenheit) as well as metric (kilograms, liters, Centigrade).
From a section called “All I ever needed to know, I learned from barbecue” here’s a quote: “Think of what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had barbecue and peach daiquiris about 3 o’clock every afternoon and then lay down for a nap with a bag of charcoal for a pillow.”
