Country style rib advice needed…..

[Timber II]

Hey boys the wife found these at Sam’s so I was gonna throw them on the pellet smoker tomorrow.



I never done these before. 275 or 300 for 4 or 5 hrs?? Season just like ribs?

Any advice appreciated!
Thanks

Any rib type rub will work. I'd personally run 275F and cool then to between 190F and 203F. I like mine to be close to fall apart tender.

Yep, what jcam222 said! On my offset my temps flux so I shoot for 250-300. They are pretty forgiving and hard to screw up! And they are very tasty!!

Thanks for the reply’s boys!
Anyone do a wrap on them?

 

[gmc2003]

I do - once they hit 160ish* I'll toss them in a disposable pan with apple cider(preferred) or apple juice. Cook until they hit about 195* then let them finish off on the grate to finish.

I've wrapped before. Will help tenderize if looking for fall apart ribs, but it is not necessary. Smoke for a few hours, add sauce and add some high heat char at the end. Mmm tasty and easy.

The 2 on the left look like pork steaks!

That's a pork butt cut into strips . They will cook about the same .

when i do these i will smoke at 250-300 for 2-3 hours until desired color then transfer to a covered foil pan with butter, brown sugar/honey, rub, thinned out bbq sauce with a.c.v. for another hour or two until desired tenderness then another 20-30 min uncover to let sauce set.

you can do the same thing with pork shoulder steaks or individually cut ribs with great results. enjoy. would love to see pics of finished product.

I pretty much cook these "ribs" cut off a boston butt similarly. Cook them to probe tender, which will be 200° or better.

A lot of times, I let them run on the smoker until they hit 150~160°ish and foil pan them with some sauce and let them kind of braise in the liquid.

Brought in house and we lived happily ever after

Now that is a great batch of good eats right there.

Any sides with them , but I would be ok with just a plate of tasty boneless ribs

Ha yes David had carrots and taters!

 

[Newglide]

I don't think those ribs lived happily ever after..I'd say you killed em

thanks for sharing the process! looks delicious! almost felt like i could smell them. as i have learned to grill and smoke over the years ive cooked and tasted some pretty fancy and expensive cuts. but my favorite have always remained some of the cheapest, most forgiving and most accessible cuts. pork shoulder and pork spare ribs. gonna be smoking some pork shoulder this weekend for sure now, thanks for the inspiration.
