$13.99 a kilo at Costco for ribs. The rack I picked up is 2.5kg with a fair bit of meat on them.. just shy of $40. Cooking them up tonight!

We are up in coolaroo.. so it takes us an hour to get to Costco we go about once a month.

@Glitchlols Thanks for getting back to me! Good luck with the cook up tonight.

Thank you very much for posting this. I learnt a lot!!

I made some pulled pork yesterday night using your rub number 1, tasted great.

I'll have to do up a batch of Ratdog's BBQ sauce next time to go with it.

I bought some ribs from Costco (im in Melb) yesterday, and it just so happens you posted a video on how to do those too!

@Glitchlols Gday Glitchlols. Not a problem mate, glad it helped. I'm also in Melb, but I'm about 45 mins away from Costco. I have heard they sell good sized ribs there. What cut of rib did you get and what do they weigh? Good to hear you liked the rub too!

@AussieGriller hi, am also looking for a barbecue. What size is your barbecue? I want to be able to cook a whole chicken or two. Thanks

Sorry ATCRyderX I accidentally deleted this replying from my phone, so I've reposted your question. "I have a question. I got a free Charcoal Grill that friends & I have been using for ribs, hotdogs, burgers, beans etc. and it doesn't have the piece the charcoal sits on. I do assume it had one before, but it also doesn't have an ash hole so we use it just as that. Other than its gonna deteriorate the bottom of the grill sooner, is that OK to not have the charcoal tray?"

@ATCRyderX I can only speak from experience with webers, the enamel bowl would handle the heat well long term, yours may or may not depending on construction. Performance wise the only factors are lack of oxygen under the fire may result in lower temps. The extra distance from the food will make for cooler direct grilling too. It sounds like its working well for you though so these probably aren't an issue. Enjoy it :)
