Handling our meat

one would think men of our experience would know how to handle our meat, Sat night's over "tong-ation" of the ribs and chix showed otherwise.

At walgreens, I found gloves for handling hot items and bought a set. basically like oven mitts but shaped more like cotton gardening gloves - $10 a piece. I also bought a box of 100 vinyl food handling gloves - they won't handle heat (do any?) but the hot handling gloves are washable.

Rubbing - read some articles that showed using apple juice and mixtures with it (Jack Daniels?) and applying with a spray bottle works well - spray it first, add rub, and spray again. I bought two spray bottles in case we want to go this route.

check out BBQpirates website - they look like they've done well without all the industrial equip...
