I DID IT
I broke my winter curse. My wife was feeling kind of down, and seeing that I bought a new book (Willingham's BBQ cookbook- John Willingham is a Memphis legend, makes his own smokers, and claims to be head of the most decorated BBQ team in history), I decided to brave the cold.
I chose Willingham's championship rib recipe and one of his many sauce recipes. I will skip past all of the prep for reasons to be revealed later. I am proud to say that I successfully smoked while temps were around 14 degrees. The disturbing part was breaking through ice to get to my soaking hickory chunks. Overall, it wasn't that bad- the fire kept me warm, the sun was out, and the smoker (mine is insulated) kept right at 225.
I am skipping past my recipe and techniques because Kristen said these were my best ribs ever, and wants me to enter them into the contest, so I shan't share my recipe this time. I will say that this was the first time I would eat ribs without sauce- they were that good.
We also discovered that my 12 month old baby loves ribs- I guess its in his genes.

So how is this training of the young accomplished? Do you deny sustenance to your offspring for a period of time and then only present ribs for nourishment?

Competition, shmompetition - the thought of the Flambs having a recipe before you had you running scared, this is all propaganda.
