Rib Racks
Does anyone cook their ribs on a rib rack? I have to cook 6 slabs of St. Louis Style ribs for Christmas on my Kamado Big Joe and have never used one before since I’ve always cooked my ribs laying flat on the grate but can’t seem a way to fit that many slabs on without the rib rack. Any tips/... -
Dry Pork Butt Need Help
I don’t think meat cut being fat enough is an issue because I don’t trim them and it’s not just one butt it’s been quite a few. I don’t use a water pan. I don’t even know if you can use one on a Rec Tec ♂️. My meat thermometer is good. I use the thermapen and I’ve checked it. I do let it rest... -
Dry Pork Butt Need Help
My pork butt looks and seems juicy when it is cooking, but when I actually pull it it tastes dry. I dry rub the butt, smoke it on my Rec Tec at 225, spritz it with apple juice every 1-2 hours and cook it until it gets an IT of 205 and then I let it rest for a couple hours before pulling. I’ve... -
Brown Sugar and Butter
A lot of people use brown sugar, honey and butter with ribs. I see that combination all the time for ribs, but have never seen anyone suggest to do it with Boston Butts. Has anyone done this? What are the pros and cons? Just curious why I’ve never seen it mentioned for Butts but constantly see... -

I spoke with my girlfriend and I wish we could pull the trigger, but unfortunately can’t right now. I’m sorry. With the holidays coming up the most the girlfriend said we could go is 2k which is just too much of a difference to even try to make a deal.- vfl57

Smoked Beef Ribs
I bought beef short ribs for the first time and plan to smoke them at 225 on my Rec tec until they reach an internal temp of around 205. My question is, has anyone tried marinating them in a wine marinade before smoking them and if so, how did they come out? I grill my steaks in a red wine... -

I wanted to update you guys on how my fantasy football draft party went. First and foremost I want to thank everyone for your suggestions and help. I was really worried about the pulled pork getting dried out if I made it a few days in advance and reheated it, so I decided to just smoke them...- vfl57

Smoking In Advance Of A Party
Thanks for the insight! I don't have a vacuum sealer so I'll probably put the pork in an aluminum disposable tin and foil it. The only thing is not everyone is going to want bbq sauce, so I'm not sure if I could just leave the sauce off it and have it on the side or will it be too dry coming out... -

Thanks for showing that pic. I guess I had the probes wrong. I had one pretty much resting on the top rack and the other one sticking in the center of the ribs on the 2nd shelf. Atleast I'll know for next time! Thanks for your help!- vfl57
