    Please clarify some things about Beef Short Ribs

    The first pic looks like cross cut ribs, or Costillas as they are called here. The second image is beef short ribs. The 3rd pic looks to be beef back ribs. The short ribs are cut from the end of back ribs and are essentially the same thing. The meat will draw up on the bone as they cook.

    Howdy from Texas Tim..Welcome to the forums... On my OKJ, I start with a chimney full of lump charcoal....Once coals start to turn white I dump them into the fire box and add a stick of wood (whatever your preference) I keep the exhaust damper open about 2/3 and will maintain a 230-240 degree...

    high temp smoking ?

    I don't cook at super high temperatures, but, I do cook at elevated temps, sometimes as high as 325.... When cooking, especially in a competitive event, you have a set number of hours to get all your entries done and readied for turn in at specific times. This means that you have several types...

    Hog Glaze Baby Backs

    Yeah, the glaze is great. and I too cook around 275... My fat belly waits 6.5 hours for NOTHING...LOL. I use my standard pork rub and the glaze compliments it very well. I also used the glaze on pulled pork... After I take the butt off the pit, I let it rest for an hour or so, pull the pork...

    Hog Glaze Baby Backs

    I knew you would like em.. I agree with you on the spritz... I think its more to keep the meat moist than for flavor... I didn't go by the recipe, because I don't like opening my smoker that often. I used Post oak and peach wood for the cook, to me, fruit woods are all a little weak on the...

    Hog Glaze Baby Backs

    Been there and done that.... You will be impressed by the flavor... I agree, too, that it is a very detailed recipe and it takes as long to make all the merinade and glaze as it takes to cook the meat. It's fun tho... What I got out of it, most of all, was the way it made me think about what...

    Mustard on pork butt?

    Pretty much for a binder IMHO... I like to use French's spicy mustard on mine, there is a little residual flavor from the spices, but not the mustard itself... I've also used Italian dressing, or just plain old EVOO as binders for the rub... Just play around with it until you find what you like...
