Great pictures. My thanks to Mrs. Mackieman for the photo record of our trip.
Mackieman makes a good point about the BBQ difference between Snow's and the Salt Lick. At the Salt Lick, almost everything comes pre-basted with sauce and sauced again on top. This is in addition to a dry rub. They have a great sauce, so I am fine with that. At Snow's, however, I could not find evidence of any of their meat being basted at any point in the smoking process although they also use a dry rub. Their sauce is served on the side exclusively as a do-it-yourself operation and not pre-applied in a baste or otherwise.
So, the observation that Snow's BBQ is a dry application as opposed to a wet application at the Salt Lick is spot on. That being the case, if you like wet ribs, you are more likely to place the Salt Lick over Snow's in that category. Personally, I like them both equally.
