All good. But a side note - your sig is "Jason Bryant works here." Does he really? From what I've been told, it seems he doesn't at all. Inquiring minds want to know.

Who, this guy? Nope, not responsible or moral. His ethics are clear to see, they are written all over his face.

I'm not even remotely the "king of all things" but Rasta is right - oven should be just fine for 4#. If you've got unwaxed butcher paper - use that. If you don't, then buy some. In the meantime, go ahead and use alum foil for wrap. It's fine, but it would be better to not make a habit out of using alum foil. (I'll leave the research to you.) If you like the smoke taste, use liquid smoke. Purists don't like it - but if you aren't using a smoker, you don't have a lot of options in the smoke-flavor department. A few drops of that will do in a pinch for the 1st phase. Wrap for 2nd phase, try to pick a sheet pan that has a high enough edge to contain any liquid droppings. There shouldn't be any, but then again - it does happen. When you unwrap, you'll need the higher edge while the rack tightens. There is good news - you won't need to spray the ribs nearly as much in the oven, the humidity there is more consistent than on a BBQ. They won't get that true wood flavor, but they'll cook more consistently and will probably be really good. If you're Keto, then you won't be using BBQ sauce - which is just fine, these shouldn't need any (and which also why I recommended a bit of liquid smoke.) I'm no "king of all things" - but I do know a thing or two about BBQ. Best of luck, Happy to help if I can. Either for this cook, or the next.

Nah, not really. Husker does like to blast others in posts. It's part of his thing. Some of us blast back - I guess that's part of our thing... and so it goes. Not necessarily great, not necessarily bad, it just is what it is. I'm hoping it'll evolve into something better. (But in all seriousness, you really don't need to defend Willie. Really. You don't. He'll be fine.)

Unfortunately, Bob can't put Husker in the zoo... doesn't work that way.

Seems like a reasonable post. Seems like a mean-spirited post from a guy in a big chair against a regular poster. Hey @Wrestleknownothing - Doesn't this make you "cringe" a little? You did insert yourself into this type of conversation before - are you silent now?

Oh, you're still at these same dull antics? Your fringe behavior is more than a little weird. I'm not PM'ing you - at all. Not at all. I don't need a Stalker. I'd prefer to not have one. So... off you go. (Is that clear enough?)

That's completely fair. I find that I'm usually the opposite. What makes me cringe is when someone decides to blast a large swath of the US population as being "idiots" or some other term for inferior. A day doesn't go by when we don't see either the R or D party being targeted as being morons/etc. by at least a few posts. We see the same type of thing towards LGBT groups, NRA members, people of color, pro-life supporters, woke supporters, etc. People post who actually believe their hate toward a group is justified. That being said - petty personal back-and-forth's aren't good either. I should do more to nip them in the bud sooner than later. They aren't fun for anyone and accomplish nothing.

Yawn... your antics are dull. But your continued hysteria over many of my posts is becoming unhealthy. These posts aren't directed at you, don't include you, and don't affect you. Yet, you insist on flipping out. I get it, you're probably angry about some past post exchanges we've had. But there comes a time where you need to let it go. For your sake as much as everybody else. Stalkers. They are a real thing. But not a real good thing.

With baby-backs and some St Louis style ribs, 3-2-1 can overcook. 2-2-.5 is an adjustment I read online, tried and had luck with. After 2 hours, the ribs will likely be saturated with smoke so you won't be missing out there.

I used to have similar conversations all the time with friends. Some like their steak rare, others medium, and others well done. So many of them were convinced they were 'right' - as if there's only one way to cook meat correctly. I don't believe I was ever able to change any of their minds... seems they each thought they are right, and so it goes. That's OK by me. It's more interesting than anything else. I don't think I'm the "king of all things" at all. That's a hurtful thing to say. I don't remember ever saying anything remotely similar about you. But, so it goes.

That's exactly right. NONE of his posts contain any gun restrictions whatsoever. His posts are all about prosecutors and judges putting criminals away who use guns when committing crimes. So - zero ounces of restriction, and many pounds of prosecution. I guess. Let everyone freely shoot it out 24x7, then put the bad-guy shooters in prison. I guess that's someone's idea of a solution.

Your first sentence is not true. Your second sentence, also not true. But, with your posts, you have proven that you are a person who seems to first lash out angrily rather than try to come to an understanding. I'm not being condescending when I say that I think that's something you might want to work on. I'm guilty of the same thing - as WKN pointed out, sometimes I react lazily with insults rather than with thoughtful argument. I try to be more like Brother Morris was, but sometimes it isn't in my nature so it can be a bit of a struggle. Ban seems to be always-chill. I don't think his heart rate or blood pressure changes a single iota when he's here. Oh well, as I always say - none of us are perfect, the best we can do is to try to do the best we can do.

Except for... nobody who knows how to bbq a pork butt has ever said that it came out "solid." Ever.

Exactly - OMULD. What? Zero class. It's terrible. Looks like an acronym created by 5th graders on too much sugar about 2 minutes before recess.

So - it would be interesting to know. How do Husker's personal attacks affect your focus? Below is just a sample - look back yourself, you'll see this has been an ongoing back 'n forth. (I understand if you'd prefer not to reply. There is a possibility you'll be banned.)

Since nobody else is playing the game, I'll just make one more post before I finish: Johnny Cash Elvis James Taylor Madonna Good thread, thanks Ban.

My mistake... that's on me. I didn't realize that you were "mini me numbnuts" - so, are you a rapper? It's a cool name for a rapper. I've heard of Lil Baby, Doja Cat, Lil Durk, Future, Lil Nas X... I like Mini Me Numbnuts better. Stick with it, it's a good name, IMO you'll go places.

Le duke beat me to it. The election lies need to be called out as the lies they are, and then put in the past - dragging those lies on is doing a disservice to the country and to every US citizen. Nobody promotes those lies except those that put themselves above the country - those are truly awful people.

Using fake-Dr Phil as a reference... that says more than I can possibly post here. OMULD... even a crappy cult in a shithole state can come up with better than that. That's just awful - so bad.

Just did a quick first page review... It certainly does check the box for "false or misleading statements". If you want to get into semantics about the definition of a lie vs false/misleading statements. Yeah, I'm not doing that. That's the kind of gray, murky, swampy junk thing politicians live by.

To be fair - the "bigger chair" comment I made wasn't a reference to physical stature.

Except that you are attacking half of the country - it is a pattern. It's what we have to suffer through when reading most of your posts. Yes, yes. We get it, you're a Fox News R vs D and you blindly jump on the R side. "I read some guy's tweet, so it's cool for me to try to insult half the country over it because he's a Fox News guy"... Think harder. Think about the responsibility of being in a position where you can influence people. Think bigger. You're in a bigger chair.

Hmmm... have to admit, this is actually quite a bit harder than I thought it would be (you were right.) Here's my updated Rushmore list: Johnny Cash Elvis (I'm not a big fan either, but some of my family are huge fans.) Aretha Franklin Jim Morrison I'm sure I'll want to change it tomorrow.

Why - just why? How can you possibly decide to post something so incredibly stupid while blaming it on half the population of the US? It's like you're thinking "Heh heh, I'll get that 50% of the country. Screw that half. I'll win with this." Except, you win nothing. You just look dumb. Really dumb. Makes no sense, unless maybe you have some kind of evil plan?
