He still won't speak to me.

Although, I haven't perfected the art of ribs; this is my first shot. I seasoned with a dry rub and coated with brown sugar and covered in foil and put in the oven at 220 for asbout 2 hours; now I'm basting nice and low with some hickory in the smoker box for the gas grill.

.....hopefully they don't suck! I've always wanted to learn how to make good ribs and someday move to a smoker.....baby steps.

I know exactly the place you're talking about, I grew up about 1/2 mile from there, but I haven't been in that store for years. I'll have to pick some up sometime.

Yeah, you've got to keep the thing full, or else it's going to cost you twice as much as the upstairs fridge does to run it. Ours is a beer fridge/handy storage area for various foods. I wonder how efficient my cousin's kegerator is? Not very, I bet.

I don't understand. It takes more energy to run it when it's full versus empty.

I'll have to try and remember/find that article I read stating that an empty fridge costs more to cool than a full, due to the empty space you're constantly cooling.

Is that anywhere near 27th and Q, near Bellevue? (that's the only place I go when I end up in Omaha, heh)

WTF are you doing at 27th & Q? I hope you are fluent in Spanish if you're hanging out in that part of town. The place Gonzo is talking about is in Ralston.

I live in Bellevue, pm me the next time you're here. Just Good meat is on 84th and L. It's the best old school butcher shop we have left.

It's kind of a tricky question, actually. If you are constantly adding room temperature beer to the fridge, of course it works harder to remove the heat from the beer. But, once the heat had been removed (and the door isn't opened all the time), the volume of air inside the fridge becomes the critical issue. The less "empty" volume, the better, IIRC.
