Meatwave, a devotee of "The Legend," three-time Grand World Champion Mike Mills, cooks up some smokin' good ribs with a tropical touch, and provides readers with a

Check out pitmaster Mike Mills' Apple City Ribs, in the cookbook
"Peace, Love and Barbecue", or take your pick from the recipe selection at
Kitchen Daily. Or share your own secrets to your best ribs recipes in the Comments section here. And finally, here's a shout out to
Big W's Roadside Bar-B-Q, in Wingdale, N.Y., where I've never taken a bite of a rib or a brisket that wasn't smoked to perfection.
