    Babyback Rib Pricing Question

    Ya gotta keep an eye out for those meat sales, places go nuts when pricing baby backs because they know they are a hot selling item and they can get away with it.

    I am soooo embarrassed.......:(-

    Whatever works the best for you is what you should stick with but for trying something different. Now when you say steaming ribs did you mean like steaming them in an actual steamer like restaurants do or were you referring to the foiling/braising as steaming? If you actually cooked them in a...

    growing taters

    Hey Josh. There is no need to use the straw, some folks do but I never did. Just be sure to mound soil up around the potatoes occasionally so that the tops aren't exposed to sun, that will cause the green skin that can also be toxic.

    stupid question of the day from FNG

    Personally I never slice mine, I think they are much better pulled especially considering the higher amount of fat in them. As for searching for a good one you want one with some good marbling and not a HUGE main line of fat running through the middle of it, some of them can contain as much fat...

    I screwed up, need help with brisket

    Don't worry about a fat cap. Half the time when I do a brisket I trim pretty much all the fat off and smoke, just make sure you spritz regularly, every 45 minutes is optimal, and that extra bit of fat for basting won't even matter anymore

    What to do with trimings from st louis style ribbs?

    You can cook them and eat them if you like but my favorite is to season them with salt, pepper and a little garlic, smoke 'em up and then freeze until I make a batch of chili and throw them in the pot for added flavor and meat.

    garlic fries!

    The advice given sounds good but if you want your fries to fry up properly like they do at a fair or restaurant you might want to try dropping the raw cut taters into the oil for a minute or so then pull them up and let them drain then drop them again and fry till crispy. Just a little tip

    the 4 types of american bbq

    Meh, a good seasoning and some good smoke and you can leave the sauce at the door. Only thing I think I even use BBQ sauce for is burnt ends and occasionally on some pulled beef or chicken but not on ribs.
