I had the chance to barbecue some ribs on Saturday. Our weekends have been getting more and more hectic lately, and getting 5-8 hours of uninterrupted cooking time is getting rarer and rarer.

I’ve been meaning to stop by “Journeys” in Multnomah Village ever since they started talking about it over at The Multnomah Villager.
