Barbeque 101

With terms like mopping, spare, Memphis Style and baby, we thought we would clear some things up for you.

St. Louis Style Ribs

Refers to the cut of the rib. These spare ribs are a good mix of meat and fat. While this meat won’t be falling off the bone it will be close.

Baby Back Ribs

These are lean, expensive, and not the most flavorful. These are usually found at chain restaurants.

Carolina Style

Refers to pork, whole hogs, shoulders and or butts.Typically chopped or pulled and served with a vinegar based sauce.

Texas Style

Mainly refers to beef (typically brisket) that is seasoned with just salt and pepper and mesquite smoked for many hours.Texans usually shun this style being served with sauce, the thought being the meat should be able to stand on its own.

Memphis Style (aka dry)

Neither too sweet or too hot, these ribs come from our hickory smoker, dusted with spice rub and served with a side of sauce.

Kansas Style (aka wet)

Ribs are finished on the grill, mopped with our extra sweet sauce.
