    Crosscut Short Ribs

    In the Meat business here in Calif., these are called & sold as KS Short Ribs. KS stands for kosher style, meaning the tough lifter meat has been pulled from the top of the rib. Makes for a very tender rib!! Richard

    ham cuts ?

    Pretty good description, but to clarify, a bit more.. The full ham first off, is whole hind leg of the pig, removed from the carcass partially skinned, then cured;. If the ham has been cut in ½, the upper cut (towards the ass of the animal) would be the Butt end of the ham. The lower cut...

    Here I am, another newby!!

    Wow, great reception here. We just enjoyed a delicious smoked Pk Butt last night, and I know it wouldn't have turned out nearly as well as it did without some of the terrific receipes I've found on this site. Thank you, Richard

    Scrub Oak for Beef?

    Hounds, cute!! Yes, those short bushes do gobble a bit, and the darn things won't leave the area until just before Thanksgiving. I don't have a clue why, but in any case, they do seem to get a little nervous starting in Sept. I do love the smell of Smoked Turkey about then also!! Thanks...

    Scrub Oak for Beef?

    Finding dead scrub oak isn't going to be a problem around here, though with winter they all look dead. I will go out with the chain saw tomorrow, and lop off enough for a years supply, and until they season (will be stored in the shop) will continue to use Mesquite & Apple wood. Gotta love...

    Scrub Oak for Beef?

    If all Oak is good (I like that answer!!), I'll just go out and cut down a few and give it a try. I have thousands of these things, and am sure happy to hear I can use them. I simply didn't want to ruin the Tri Tips tomorrow. Thank you, Richard

    Scrub Oak for Beef?

    Hello: Newby here, but have spent some time searching the forum for answers to this question. If Oak works well for larger cuts, wouldn't Scrub Oak work just as well? I have acre's of S.O on my property, and hate spending the $$ for packaged wood chips. If S.O. would work well in a gas...
