Best Tips to Kick Off Summer and Celebrate Dad
Special to The Truth
Father’s Day is a chance
to kick off summer and celebrate Dad. Where better to gather
your celebration than the grill, where family memories,
traditions and delicious meals are created?
Here are some ways to make
your father’s grilling wishes come true.
Thanking Dad
If your father is like
many others, grilling is kind of his thing, and there’s no
better way to honor the man of the house than with the
equipment he needs and deserves.
At the top of your gift
list should be a brand-new grill that will allow the king of
the backyard barbecue to create world class ribs, wings,
smoked meats and more at home. Whether his preference is
traditional wood pellet, charcoal, gas or even a vertical
smoker, consider those from Pit Boss, which offer
exceptional value. Their pellet grills are particularly
well-suited to give Dad true bragging rights. Imparting a
simple, all-natural wood flavor to cooking and featuring
8-in-1 versatility -- letting him bake, braise, sear,
chargrill, grill, smoke, BBQ and roast -- he’ll be well on
his way to making fall-off-the-bone ribs and other
competition-quality barbecue favorites in his own backyard.
Next up, gift tools and
accessories to boost Dad’s grilling dexterity. For example,
the non-stick porcelain-coated Pit Boss Grill Basket &
Topper, fits most grill surfaces, making it possible to
grill mouth-watering foods of any size without the need for
tin foil or skewers. Or, beef up marinades and rubs, while
infusing heat, tang and zest into barbecue creations with
the gift of a gourmet spice pack.

make cooking outdoors easier and more versatile, such as
covers to protect the grill when it’s not in use or a
defrosting tray to thaw foods in a hurry, visit

Feeding Dad
To celebrate Dad in the
big way he deserves, try smoking meats in your own backyard
with this recipe from Pit Boss. These fall-off-the-bone St.
Louis-style ribs are easy to make and can serve a group of
four, or double the recipe to serve a big party!
Ingredients:
• 1 rack spare ribs
• 1/4 cup of mustard
• Pit Boss Sweet Rib Rub
• 2 tbsp of butter
• 2 tbsp of brown sugar
• 2 tbsp of honey
• 1/4 cup of apple juice
• 1/2 cup of your favorite
BBQ sauce
Directions:
• Prep your ribs by
patting them dry, removing the membrane, and trimming them,
if your butcher hasn’t already.
• Generously coat every
inch of the ribs with mustard and Pit Boss Sweet Rib Rub.
Lay them on the grill bone side down and smoke at 225 F for
3 hours.
• After 3 hours, wrap them
tightly in foil, leaving one side open to add in your
butter, brown sugar, honey, and apple juice. Then, seal them
up and place them back on the grill flesh side down for 2
more hours.
• To finish them off,
remove the foil and lay the ribs bone side down for an hour
or until they reach an internal temperature of 185 – 190 F,
making sure to add your favorite BBQ sauce and crank up the
grill temperature to 275 F, 15 – 20 minutes before the ribs
are done.
