    Here’s a rib question for you butchers

    We want to do ribs for a church fundraiser so I stopped by our local locker to see what they could do for us. I told the gal behind the counter we wanted loin backs. She hadn’t head of them but was sure they were baby backs. The explanation I got from this thread says she is right...

    Cochinita Pibil (Barbecued Pork) ????

    I offered to do a brisket or pork butt for a friend's family and they gave me a recipe to try. This recipe says to smoke a pork butt at 225-275* for 4 hours or until tender. After wrapping and resting for 1/2 hour it will be pulled. An alternative to smoking is to oven roast to an internal...

    Thanks for the recipes

    I’ve been running a tad too hard enjoying what like has to offer, but the trade off has been no time to smoke and no time to rest. It has been causing me severe hickory withdrawal. I made plans with my older brother and sister to make a quick run to visit our baby sister in Missouri last...

    First Pork Butt Qview

    I picked up a 6.18 lb pork butt $2.18/lb at Wal-Mart and rubbed it with 2 oz Jeff’s Naked Rib Rub. I’ve wanted to do a pork butt for over a year now. This was the first piece of pork the AmeriQue has seen and I have to say it was well worth the wait. I was surprised at how long it took to come...

    Smoked butter???

    We went across the river for a mini family reunion and ate at a Montana Jack’s. This was my first time in a Montana Jack’s I thought the food was good, but I did not try the Q. I opted for the blackened grouper since I haven had any since we moved from Florida many 24 hours ago. Among other...

    How Embarrassing! Qview

    I saw a puff pastry a while back and made a mental note to do one the next time I had some worthwhile leftovers. I had a little leftover brisket so I thought I’d give it a try.    I rolled out the pastry crust, spooned on a little of Jeff’s sauce, laid out some provolone, piled on the...

    Two Briskets for the weekend Qview

    I picked up 2 packers at Wal-Mart 13.2 lbs and 14.6 lbs for $1.98/lb. there’s a little more of a fat cap on these than the ones I get from my butcher, but the price was right and I didn’t have time to order them. This isn’t the first time I’ve done a packer, but it will be the first time I’ve...

    40 to 140 in under 4 ??

    OK, I’m sorry,  but I’ve been discussing smoking a prime rib with someone I respect and I am questioning his procedure of smoking for 5 ½ hour at 180⁰ to get the meat to 125⁰.   He believes the meat is pasteurized. ???

    Forgive me, Smokers, for I have sinned. (Qview added)

    A friend of mine was kind enough to offer me some venison since I do not hunt anymore. He had left it in his driveway in a cooler for me. At first glance it appeared to be several gallon baggies of coarsely ground venison, I gestimated it to be between 25 and 30 pounds. So I ran into town and...

    Help needed on Chuck Eyes

    A friend of mine had a steer butchered and told me he slipped a couple of pieces into my freezer. The labels say “chuck roll (eye)”. They are almost round, about 3 ½ - 4 inches across and roughly 16 inches long 8 – 10 pounds. Because of the way they are frozen and wrapped I cannot see what they...
