Two chickens and three slabs of Kansas City Style spareribs. We had quite a bit left over.

In Kansas City slow cooked BBQ is a big deal - we probably have a hundred BBQ joints in town. And ribs are the highlight of KC BBQ. Everyone has their favorite place - it's almost a religion here. Q is our claim to culinary fame.

When we fired up the smoker the second time it was for a larger group, 27, and we had two chickens, five slabs, a pork shoulder butt, and a venison roast. And it was all good!
