    when serving ribs?

    I like to cut spare ribs into individual bones...  Like on the picture below.  With baby backs since there is less meat, I usually cut them into quarter racks.  So 2-3 rib bones together for a 'serving'

    Where did I go wrong?

    In my opinion, these two comments would be where things could have gone wrong.   1.  In my experience a whole brisket (flat + point) will come out a lot better than just the flat.  I cooked a flat once and will never do it again - just too dry for my liking.  Some folks do the flats and it...

    Who likes cherry wood?

    I love my cherry wood.  It burns at a fairly medium-to-hot temperature, puts off a delicious smell, gives the meat a good color, and never "over-smokes" anything.  I have (or had) a 4x8 rack of cherry.  Now it is a 4x4 rack.  I use it on everything I cook. I'll smoke chicken / poultry with...

    Woods from Missouri

    MO should have some of the common smoking woods locally...  Oak, Hickory, Cherry... I would suggest following craigslist.  Sometimes you can get lucky and someone will post offering a specific type of firewood.  I found one person in Cincinnati area selling cherry wood, and another selling red...

    Pulled pork, wood, and smoke

    The only reason I would wrap a pork shoulder is to speed up the cooking time...  My favorite wood for PP is hickory (as my name states). If you are worried about over-smoking, do a blend of woods.  Cook 75% with oak or cherry (or any other fruit wood) and 25% with hickory.  Pecan is also a good...

    Looming for a charcoal smoker - $200 range

    For that price, you can't beat the weber smokey mountain...  For $75-$100 more, you could also get a brinkmann trailmaster.  I like the vertical trailmaster.  Here is a link to a thread on this smoker and its modifications...

    2nd brisket. Wood question

    I do this for every cook...  I have half a rack of white oak and half a rack of cherry.  Then I have a couple of bags of pecan wood from a hardwood store.  In order to stretch each type of wood out, I just blend them all.   I cooked a brisket over the weekend and used all 3 - turned out great.
