Thanks for purchasing the finest BBQ on the Planet!

Your purchase has been fully cooked, vacuum sealed, and frozen for freshness.

        You can store the bag in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

• Please note:  The meat will be RED at the surface, especially Ribs.  This is the Goddess of BBQ, the Smoke Ring.  The meat is fully cooked to USDA Standards.  When reheating it is only necessary to bring the product up to serving temperature.  An additional check is to insert a meat thermometer into the deepest portion (not next to a bone) and achieve 165 F.

Reheating Instructions

Thaw products thoroughly in the refrigerator overnight.

• Leave the product in the bag.
• Place on a cookie sheet to prevent leakage and place in a pre-heated 200 F to 225 F oven.
• This roasting process will steam the meat and continue with the breakdown of connective tissue surrounding the meat fibers (tenderizing).
• Roasting times will vary depending on the cut, thickness, and temperature of the meat.
• The meat should be tender when pushed for Brisket and Pulled Pork.  Ribs should fold when lifted (Be careful of those bones!).  Allow one hour.
• Remember, the meat is fully cooked.  All you need to do is bring it up to 165 F for serving. 
• Ribs can be removed a little early, if desired, and grilled on the barbeque. Place away from the flames on medium heat.  Baste with Fred Hickory Ozark Red or Hickory Gold Sauce and move to the area over the coals or flames for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the flavors.

ENJOY!
