    First time bacon

    Wade is correct on the salt content.  If you do a salt test after the cure (cut small slice and cook) if too salty soak in cold water for an hour- this will bring the saltiness back down - you just can  never take it back up if it is not salty enough..... I like the looks of your pork belly...

    Not sure about brown sugar on ribs

    As Al says - use whatever you think you will like. Keep notes and adjust in the future. Having said that I would really recommend you try at least once with the brown sugar and honey. I have been foiling with that for quite a while and (unless you smother the meat in foil suace) it really isn't...

    Smoked some bacon today

    Did you do a saltr test after it cured? I recently made bacon and I am very glad I tested it for salt before smoking it. Way too salty until I soaked it for over an hour. Then...perfect. Yours looks great - much more meat than most bellies I have seen around here. What's next? Pastromi?

    Boneless Baby Backs

    A great recipe for CSR's (which I am making this Thursday) is: Rub ribs with whatever rub you like and let them sit while you heat up your smoker Smoke at 275 degrees for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, turning halfway thru (Take their temp - should read about 150 degrees) Put them in an aluminum pan with...

    Baby backs attempt #1

    Surprised at the butchers comments. St Louis is just a way of cutting spare ribs, not a different meat. Anyway, Yours came out great - even smells good from here.............. Way to go.

    Rib-off!

    What was the prize (or are we not old enough to hear???) Looks like a fun time was had by all - probably even the judges who got to eat those ribs..........

    Tried a finishing sauce on my butt

    Al, Any idea how much pork that 2 cups will cover? My sauces run about 2 cups for 3-4 pounds of pork. Same here? Thanx

    Meatless Beef Ribs

    The beef stock ideas are sort of where I was heading. I may put some heat on them for awhile first and see if there is enough meat to get a few bites off of each rib. CrazyMoon - Right idea, but Toooooooooo late Chef Jimmy - (always like your  posts) - however, these are already thawed out and...

    Meatless Beef Ribs

    So, I send my son to the store and tell him "If they have a beef ribs (7 bone) at a decent price please pick some up". I don't know whether the butcher saw him coming or what but he came home with the thinnest rack of beef ribs I have ever seen. He said "The butcher said he had just taken off...

    3-2-1 method - What are some alternatives to using apple juice as the liquid?

    I have found that, even with minimal juice added, the moisture that comes from the ribs creates a lot of "juice" in the foil. I usually just use brown sugar and honey (sometime a  little Tiger....) and there is so much liquid that I need to be VERY, VERY careful unwrapping. I don't think you...

    First Time Country Style Ribs w/ qview!

    Those CSRs look great. Mouth watering just looking at em................ 2 things - 1) What Al said about the pics.... 2) You stated that you left them on the counter for several hours. Please be careful about leaving meat out of refrigeration that long. Usually 30-35 minutes is acceptable...

    Cooking with Weber Spirit Grill – E310

    Like Al says - Practice. I am not familiar with your grill but it  looks like a propane burner. If so and it has multiple burners you will be setting up direct and indirect heat by only lighting 1 or more burners. There are several posts here about setting up for indirect heat, whether using...

    A couple racks of baby backs...

    Just remember that baby backs use the 2-2-1 method, if foiling. 3-2-1 is usually used for spare ribs. Can't wait to hear how the foiling juice came out - quite a different approach.

    My SB50 Baby backs with Qview

    You said you used the 2-2-1 method. You foiled these ribs? With that bark/beautiful crust I would sworn you did not foil them. Made my mouth water just looking at your pictures.........................

    SLR question.

    Yeah, putting them back on without foil firms up the ribs and momma will get her bark (hope it's worse than her bite). Putting on a few thin layers of sauce (if she likes sauce) at this time also helps to create a firmer exterior. They will still fall off the bone. You will have to try again...

    Pulled pork smoke

    An observation.... You said that you couldn't remember what internal temp you had, etc. etc. That is one of the best reasons to keep a log. I may not include as much data as some but meat kind, weight, time to temp, etc. etc. are some pretty basic things you will want to refer back to in the...
