I decided to go 60 days instead of the 45 days I had wrote on the sticker...

The two little ones on the left were the end caps... That's all that's left after trimming... I'm thinking they will probably turn into Cheese Steak sammies as they are to small for steaks (for me) we'll see ...
Things I will do different the next time ... If there even is a next time ...
- Get a whole Standing Rib Roast
- Trim bones of first and smoke them
- Cut end caps bigger so after trimmed they aren't so small ..
As I said above... it was hard for me to trim and throw away what I would say was close to 2 lbs of meat .. Pending the outcome of tonight's dinner (a new thread) as to whether I will do this again or not... But at the moment without tasting.. I would say not ...
