My bro has a dead Purple Orchid Tree in his garden. A very huge tree. Anyone know if it would be suitable for smoking?
Did more search and aaparantly it has many names. Hongkong/Hawaiian Orchid tree among other things.

Interesting and I will definitely give this a try. I usually smoke more than I can finish in a day The salt lick reference however may not be a good example - most ppl that's been there say the same thing that their Q's are dry and it was a tourist place for taking photos with that open pit...
I had a chef friend recommending me to brine my pork in a 2% salt solution for 24 hours. On my first try I sprinkle the ribs with only salt and pepper after the brine as a test and really love the result. It seemed to add flavor deep into the meat even with membrane on. When I fully rub my ribs...
Ah good point, I'm totally with you. I like full spares with the tips untrimmed and that part definitely needs to go a little softer. Something I need to experiment!
I've been probing my ribs for IT ever since I read Al's Perfect Ribs thread. There was 1 instance that really surprised me - I cut off a small portion of my ribs before I wrapped it in foil to give it a try and my entire family seemed to love it so much. The IT was around 170ish. It gave a...

Man I just got laughed at. I pulled my last rib at 196 and to me and my family it was perfect. However I brought some over to my Thai friend and his wife, and his wife laughed and called me a newbie for overcooking the ribs.
I do understand some people here in Thailand prefer them much tougher...
Thank you for the insight everyone. I'd really love to make a tour to the US to learn more about this first handed, but with a new born daughter I don't suppose I can do that anytime soon. Appreciate all your input!
I remember seeing one video on Youtube where the pitmaster had a bunch of ribs and foils piled up and wrapping them. I'm wondering how common is that because from the majority of videos I get the impression that most place don't do that, right?
grr my baby back is on the smoker right now. With membrane on. Can't wait to try... except I don't have a sear station :( But I wanna see the membrane bulging with juice with my own eyes.
Update: smoked at 275 without wrapping. The membrane at the end turned slightly crispy and was actually a...
