    Beginner’s St Louis Ribs on the smoker

    After seasoning my Old Country Brazos offset smoker, I decided my first smoke would be ribs. I picked up two racks of St. Louis style ribs from HEB. After some trimming, I added a 2/3 black pepper, 1/3 coarse kosher salt as my rub, I didn’t weigh just eyed it in an old HEB black pepper bottle...

    Smoking on a balmy Spring day....

    NOT! My old friend Blind Willie is visiting, and today is his birthday, so there had to be ribs. Baby backs from Aldi's. They've really gone up, almost double what I paid last time. Rubbed them down with home made rub consisting of smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked chili...

    Pork spare ribs

    I just bought two racks of pork spare ribs. I've only smoked baby back ribs. Should I trim the spare ribs down to St. Louis ribs or smoke them as they are? Are there pros and cons to either? If I should trim them, how would I do so? Is there a link to a video showing how it's done? Thanks!

    Beef Ribs

    We have tons of beef ribs from our cows we had butchered this fall, so I figured I’d smoke up some. This was pretty simple and some of the best I’ve done recently. Only took about 4 hours, wrapped half way through and came out nicely. Used my simple brisket rub. No need to over complicate it!

    Smoking chunks of baby backs

    I got a couple of packs of baby backs that were on sale that I want to smoke. They’re vacuum sealed, and will be going on an WSM 18”. At least that’s the plan. I haven’t opened them but as far as I can tell they aren’t full racks, but are cut in portions of 3-4 ribs, maybe 4”-6” wide each. Is...

    Foil wrap faster than paper?

    Hey everyone, the other day I cooked two racks of baby back to compare foil vs. butcher paper wrapping. 275 the whole time, wrapped both after 2.5 hours. After 1 hour wrapped the foil ones were pretty good FOTB (how I like them), but the paper ones needed another full hour. The cuts seemed...

    Ribs and Steak w/Qview

    Wife wanted Ribs and Steak so that's what we did. A local store had "Ribeyes" for 5.98/lb listed as USDA Inspected. Looking out them they looked good marbling wise but they were just the eye with the cap removed. I decided to give them a try. Also I have been working on a new steak rub so why...

    Temp dip after wrapping ribs

    Hey All, I am new to smoking meats. I don’t have anything fancy to smoke my meats in so I use my charcoal grille and just offset the coals and wood on 1 side of the grille. Often enough, when smoking ribs, I try to follow the 3.2.1 method but I feel the internal temperature matters more than...

    How to use Rice Koji in this rib wet-brine?

    I'm wanting to make this for my family and it calls for "70 grams koji" for 3L of water. You're wet brining the ribs with it overnight. Would I be using the dry grains? Or when it's fermented into the shio paste? Thanks! https://www.starchefs.com/recipes/pork-ribs

    Flashback ~ Rib Recipe from Better Homes & Gardens Barbecue Book

    Let's take a trip in the wayback machine to the mid 1950's and see how ribs were being seasoned and cooked. This barrel set-up could be a predecessor of the WSM or drum smokers.

    Weekend Chicken & Ribs

    I decided to try two new recipes for my chicken and ribs cook. For the chicken, I used Big Mo Cason's rub and then created two new sauces from scratch. For the chicken, I used an apricot sauce and for the ribs, I used a sauce with Gulden's mustard. I used a homemade rub on the ribs and cooked...
