Loved seeing the girls get involved. You should bring on blind taste testers more often.

[@BartlowsBBQ]

Oh yeah. We need to get y’all in on the rotation!

[@williamwilson2624]

Both racks of ribs looked great. The cherry sounded like it would be an interesting flavor profile. Excellent video as always!

[@BartlowsBBQ]

Thank you. Yeah, it definitely has a pronounced cherry candy flavor. They both were delicious!

[@smokingtarheel3003]

Great comparison video. Since I'm from NC, I'm going to try Cheerwine ribs. It's an excellent cherry-flavored soft drink that pairs well with eastern (chopped whole hog) and piedmont-style (chopped pork shoulder) BBQ. Malcom also has a marinated Korean-style spare rib video that would look great on your KJ. I enjoy your motto!

[@BartlowsBBQ]

Thank you so much! I bet Cherrywine ribs would be great, heard great things on that. I’ll have to check out those Korean-style spare ribs.

[@breeze8363]

Im going to try this on the coming weekend. Thanks

[@BartlowsBBQ]

Awesome, look forward to hearing what you think!

[@thomasbihn]

Looking through your affiliate links, I don't see what you use for a spritzer. Can you add that link?

[@BartlowsBBQ]

I got this at Ace Hardware store.
