    Best Buns for Pulled Pork?

    Hello! I am currently baking my first loaf of bread and it got me wondering about buns. What does everyone prefer when it comes to buns for their pulled pork sandwiches? I do not put a lot of sauce on my pulled pork so they are not overly sloppy, what would everyone recommend? I own a BBQ...

    Cooking Ribs...A lot of 'em

    Thanks Carlos! It took me about 3 1/2 hours and my fingers are still sore haha. I cooked 63 racks yesterday (sorry I was too busy to take pictures) and they turned out great. The Cambro worked great for holding temperature but they needed some more time on the grill to shine them back up with...

    I tasted them before they went in the Cambro. The best I've ever done!

    Cooking Ribs...A lot of 'em

    Thanks Carlos, I'll let you know how it goes. I'll tell you, skinning and trimming 63 racks of ribs was a big job. I don't have calluses on my hands for that work, I've got a few blisters, haha.

    Cooking Ribs...A lot of 'em

    I rented a Cambro 300 MPC. It holds about 4 full sized roasting pans. It should be enough to hold 30 racks. I did a test run today of a rack. It was tough getting up to temp this morning since it was a bit cooler so I burned at 250 for the first two hours. then it shot right up on me and it was...

    Cooking Ribs...A lot of 'em

    sorry... http://www.amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/texas_crutch.html I am not cooking in a competition. I am trying to cook ribs while budgeting time and keeping them tender. When I serve them to my customers they need to be in tact, not a mess of overcooked meat. I know there is a...

    If you put your ribs on for 3 hours at 275 then foil for 2 hours. I guarantee you have mushy rib meat and bones when you remove them from the foil.

    Cooking Ribs...A lot of 'em

    I'm going to do a test rack on Thursday and I'm going to try an hour per side and an hour foiled then 20 minutes of glaze and 20 minutes of sauce to see what the result is.

    The 3-2-1 method only works at 225 degrees. Since I burn hotter I usually do 45 flip, 45, then foil for 1.5 hours. With 1.5 hours being the absolute max time to keep them in the foil and I'll even check them after an hour to be sure they aren't getting mushy or falling apart. After they get out...

    Hi Everyone, I have a big cook coming up where I am to make 60 racks of St. Louis Style Pork Side Ribs. I thought I would post my "game plan" for you all to critic and hopefully give me some tips... My Reverse flow cooker can comfortably fit about 30 racks at a time. So I am going to have to...

    Over-smoking with my reverse flow

    Hi Gary, It was never a problem since I usually wrap my meats. I was just curious about smoke production so I did some reading about building a better fire. So I recently made a rack for my firebox sitting about 1 1/2 " high to build my fire on. The fire burns much "cleaner". The question...
