My BBQ giftbox from Cooper's arrived this morning. Holy cow, way more than I expected - a whole brisket, a rack of spare ribs, two huge pork chops, some smoked sausage, summer sausage and a bottle of BBQ sauce. I put the spareribs on the grill and reheated them tonight and I'm currently in that "oh my god if I ate one more bite I'd explode" phase. When I first pulled them out, I had my doubts. There was an inordinate amount of coarsely cracked pepper on it, enough that I thought it would overwhelm the taste. But with the sauce on, the two layers of flavor actually worked perfectly. They were excellent. Thanks again, Jeff!
