    Best price buy #124 Beef Back rib case purchase ?

    Smokerjim - That would be AWESOME !! Ya, should be called #124... I think usually 2 - 7 bone racks cryo'd together... and about 4-5 double rack packs/ case. I think bones will be like 8" long, unfortunately no vertabrea. I know they are very well cleaned off w V cuts between bones...

    Best price buy #124 Beef Back rib case purchase ?

    Thank you, but I specifically want Back ribs, either #124 packinghouse cut or a hand cut variation hopefully w a little more meat..and vertebrae. I sense a flavor diff, and MUCH prefer the back ribs. Have had beautifully marbled plate ribs few times, did not care for the flavor as much. Marc

    Hey all ! Haven't posted for awhile. Want to do something I have not done for years. Live on VERY tight budget here. My favorite beef cut is Beef Back Ribs. Used to buy them for even $1/lb years ago... moved very rural... Local grocery store that cuts its meat wants $5.39/lb for in house...

    Thanksgiving PLANNING ON DEEP FRYING A TURKEY ???? PLEASE READ THIS FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!

    Did not read entire thread, maybe already said.. Get a 6' + 2x2, suspend turkey at CL, and TWO guys lower into oil w burner turned OFF. This method allows to totally stay totally away from area above pot till it settles down. Steam can burn your arms like Hell. Marc

    MES tripping GFCI

    I think Larry in Post #62 meant to remove the element from the circuit, not physically remove it. Doing as he suggests would although not for sure, would probably delineate the problem.   Marc

    Brine / defrost Turkey at same time??

    I read through it, makes sense. The cooler is definitely better than the bucket. Marc

    Brine / defrost Turkey at same time??

    So, I sure don't have room in the fridge for a turkey in brine. So... I'm thinking this -  I've thawed many turkeys IN package in water in bucket, and have a sense of how long it takes, need to stir  or flip every few hours, etc. The Big Plan ! ------ Grab my clean food safe 5 gal bucket, mix...

    Adam's Rib? Nope, IMPS 130, Chuck Short Ribs

    I'm thinking those may commonly be known as  "Plate ribs" ?   They are the ones typically w very thick meat on them, with bones w flattish cross sections, and pretty flat, not very curved, in the long dimension. Kind of near the front lower side near belly, not higher up.            Marc

    Vac packed commercial sliced brisket -- expire date question

    We opened and ate it two weeks after date. Heated up very gently in some homemade AuJus to moisten it. Was totally "Fresh" tasting, but very tough, dry, won't buy again. Marc
