So I went with the slow cooker route (no water to boil them, used a bit off BBQ sauce) after letting them stay in the fridge with a spice/warm rub on the meat over night. Got the car and gear all packed to take the GF ice fishing for her 1st time ever (she never had a license till today so today was huge for her) as we got back to my place to get the gas auger and then that's when the day went to poop. The gas auger is the only one I have at the moment and well it was spitting gas all over the place. Yeah sure it wasn't used at all last season so I kind of had a feeling it may need some work... Took the afternoon to clean up the carb and get it to run smooth again but it's leaking big time when layed down on its side. Oh well, the day was productive the the rib's we killer!!! Thanks all
