    Baby Backs Vs Spares

    Whenever I buy the St. loius style they are pre-cut and packed at the grocery store and always have about an inch of cartalige left on the bone ends, thats the part I do not care for. I've never bought the entire spare and trimmed it myself but probably would prefer to do it that way from now on.

    First pork butt smoke in progress - possible issues

    Are you going by the temp on the thermometer on the grill or are you using one on the cooking surface where the meat is? The temp gauge on my pit lid reads about 25 degrees higher than the gauge I place on the grate with my meat, so if the grate saye 225, the one on the lid will say 250. it may...

    Baby Backs Vs Spares

    I just started doing spares recently, I like them, but prefer baby backs. The only thing I do not like about the spares/ St Loius cut ribs is the cartilage on the tip of the rib. The cartilage is the only reason I lean towards BB's otherwise I really like cooking and eating both.

    Overnight pork butt

    This one was the best I have ever done, I can't say I'd change anything, the brown sugar gave it a sweet taste at first but then the chilli powder and the cayenne would say hello to the tounge and give you a bit of heat. It was not real spicy seemed just right, for me anyways. I think the...

    Couple Questions

    I use the smaller chips and not the chunks when I smoke. I try to let them soak for at least 1 full hour but prefer to have them soaking for 3-4 before I use them. The longer they soak I find they last longer and I go through less and get a better smoke out of them.

    Overnight pork butt

    Last weekend I did a butt for Memorial day. I wanted to be done earlier in the day so I cooked it overnight. I started Sat by rinsing it off good and making a marinade for it. I inject the meat first and then stick it in to marinate for 24 hrs. For those interested in the marinade here is...
