I had been wanting to try BBB a long time and when Food Lion had butts and picnics at .99c/# I thought here is my chance. I ended up picking a picnic but if I had to do it again I'd pick a shoulder as the picnic is too lean.
I used Todd's recipe posted here...
We just prefer BB since there are only two of us and the slabs of STL ribs are usually large. However, we just did have a rack of STL ribs and they lasted for three meals, were meaty like you said and inexpensive. A rack of BB even lasts us for two meals. The older we've become, the less we eat...
I don't know what the coating of the grill racks on a WSM is but my racks have a porcelain coating. I soak them overnight using the cheapest dishwasher soap I can find and the next day use a scrubbing pad on them. No wire brush. They clean up in a minute or two.
What Bear says here makes a lot of sense. I keep my cut smoking wood (a lot) in the garage but also have 6 mouse traps in there. If I had a huge pile of smoking wood or fireplace wood I would make a cover for it. We had one at a previous house we had. They are not hard to make but still mice AND...
Those look soooooo good. I only got to eat elk once in my life and loved it. We have elk here but they were brought in by the state and highly protected. Elk were wiped out here in the Southern Appalachians eons ago by over hunting. I like sticks more than jerky and sure need to get me a stick...
Our markets here, including Food Lion and Ingles, have BB ribs on sale pretty frequently. Under $3.00/# is good. Just be sure they are BB and not St. Louis cut ribs. I've seen markets play that game a time or two, but it was probably a butcher trainee error?!?!
Have ribs and jerky to do this weekend so plan on smoking the trout next weekend after a small brine and dry out in the fridge. I will post Q-View here for sure. I kind'a screwed the pooch by skinning both fillets. Should have kept the skin on the slab I'll smoke. It's ok I believe, I have...
Branches up to 3 inches about 4-6 months in a dry place. Cut them into a comfortable handling size 12-15 inches. Trunk wood 9 to 12 months
in log form, if split probably 6+ months again in a dry place. Obviously the smaller you split things up the quicker they will dry, still a minimum of 3-6...
Thanks!
Got to get some trout in NZ when I was in Operation Deep Freeze for two years back in the '60's and stopped in NZ on the way down to the ice. I had read you all in OZ had some really nice fish in the south. Up here in the mountains, no poisonous water snakes and just a few copper heads...
It will be a sweet light smoke similar to cherry but a bit different. Used it a long long time ago when I had plum trees, very nice. Make sure the tree was not sprayed with oils and insecticides within the last couple of years. If it was, pass it up.
