    Please clarify some things about Beef Short Ribs

    I have been wanting to try smoking some Beef Short Ribs for quite some time now but have been having trouble getting the people at the market to understand what I want. For example, when I went to Costco I asked for Beef Short Ribs and they directed me to something that looked like these...

    Tri Tip: low and slow or cook it quickly at 350?

    I'm curious as to whether you guys smoke your Tri Tip slowly at 225 or cook it a little higher around 350?  I've done it both ways but I'd like to hear which way you prefer and why?

    It took 14 hours for me to smoke an 8lb Pork Butt this past weekend. Is that normal?

    Well at least it was supposed to be. We had to take off the the in laws and I ran out of time for cooking. The meat was fork tender but probably could have been a little more tender.

    It took 14 hours for me to smoke an 8lb Pork Butt this past weekend. Is that normal?

    So I smoked my first Pork Butt his past weekend and it came out really good. I was able to achieve a nice bark and the meat was moist and tender and had a rich smokey flavor. I used a mixture of apple, pecan and hickory woods for the smoke. Now I've heard that pork butts can be a bit...

    Did Baby Backs for only the second time yesterday. Also made my own dry rub and sauce. Pictures incl

    Thanks man. The sauce came out very good. I would describe the flavor as very tangy with just the right amount of sweetness and spiciness. Gonna use it with the pork butt I'll be making this weekend.

    Is it important for your meat to have a smoke ring?

    I smoked some Baby Back ribs on my 18' WSM yesterday but I noticed that they didn't have any smoke ring on them. I smoked them at 225 for 5 hours with three chunks of apple wood and one Oak but not a sign of any ring. Does the smoke ring make your meat have that smokey flavor?  If so, how do I...

    Baby backs

    Nice job friend those look beautiful. I have a question, does having a smoke ring give your meat that smokey flavor or is it there simply for aesthetic reasons?

    Had a lot of fun smoking three slabs yesterday on my WSM 18 incher. I learned a lot and was faced with new challenges but overall I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and can't wait to do it again. Unfortunately it was raining pretty hard here in Los Angels yesterday and I was faced some pretty...
