Growing up I remember my father always cooked for my family's birthday parties. Always using open wood fire with a simple 3 x 6 foot grill over the fire/coals. Always a freshly slaughtered kid goat or small pig, with all the Mexican rice and charro beans to go with it.
Very fond memories for me. I do the cooking now when I visit my parents, usually beef ribs (tablitas), chicken and pork ribs but always over an open fire like my dad did, and the same sides of rice and beans.
I love smoking brisket, ribs and everything else I can get my hands on in my offset smoker. But, when I start remembering those time with dad I cant help but pop open a cold one, build a fire and throw some meat on the grill. :grin:
