    3-2-1 Baby Back Ribs

    I've been working on my Baby Back Ribs & reading a lot of the posts about it here on these forums. These are the best ribs I've made yet. I did the 3-2-1 method & used a slightly modified version of @chef jimmyj 's foiling juice. That juice is amazing and using it as a glaze at the end is the...

    Beef offers high amounts of protein per serving, but researchers say that eating too much red meat, such as bacon and hot dogs, has been linked to health issues. Can you guys suggest any alternative for beef. I personally love beef

    Pulled Pork - First smoke in my Oklahoma Joe's Highland

    Bought this smoker yesterday and got it seasoned. I have only used a MES30 before. I decided to give a 7lb butt a try in here. It was last minute so I wanted to be quick. So I just used a premade rub(grill mates maple BBQ rub, I've heard it's pretty good) and injected with that creole stuff...

    Rib Tips

    I love rib tips and make them as an appetizer often. I had guests coming over, I had rib trimmings and I had my favourite barbecue sauce, Koss Sauce. Everything was coming together. One of the reasons I like making rib tips for company is I can do most of the work before the day company is...

    Pork Belly with Mustard & Vinegar Sauce

    I took my first stab at a BBQ pork belly today in my MES. It took about four hours in the smoker to reach 160° at a smoker temperature that hovered between 225° and 250°. I used a 4 pound pork belly and scored it on both sides before applying a simple pork rub. Here is the rub: -2 tbsp of...

    Country Style Ribs - Two Ways

    Good Evening I tried smoking country style ribs for the first time this evening. I think they turned out pretty good. Tender and tasty. However, they still had a lot of fat. I know that these are not ribs, but I prefer some baby backs. I did a couple as "sweet" and the others in some...

    First Pork Butt - Pulled Pork

    Just finished up my first pork butt tonight. It went extremely well for my first time. It ulled apart very easily and tasted delicious. It was about 7.5 lbs raw and took 9 hours on the smoker with a temperature hovering around 225°. I crutched it with foil at 160° and took it off of the smoker...

    Apple Sausage Pork Loin

    Pork loin is occasionally on sale for a decent price. That is great for bacon and loin hams but sometimes I want a smoked pork roast. The problem is pork loins can dry out. One of the ways I get around this is by stuffing it with either sausage or a moist bread stuffing. This time I added some...

    Pork Shoulder, who what where?

    Hello friends, my local shop is currently out of pork belly, so I cannot make the smoked cubes I was hoping for but they do have shoulder. I've seen some work with injection, but I do not own a hypodermic needle. Any advice for my first shoulder? Ideally I would like to do a sweet and spicy blend.

    Cuban Pork Loin

    Before I begin this post, I humbly apologize to every Cuban or person of Cuban heritage. I love this style of cooking but a lot of the ingredients are not available here in the Canadian Rockies. For example I noted some recipes call for a sour orange. Therefore, this is my homage to the style...
