I wanted to try, " Bacon on a Stick " so here it is

[DRKsmoking]

Thanks, I see in that thread you use Tender quick, I have Cure #1 do I use that in the same ratio?

They are not the same product , to use cure foir your buckboard if you can't get tenderquick , I can't here . You can use cure #1
disco has many posts doing this as maybe others do also using cure#1.
or Bearcarver with TQ

Those look really good, David, and since they went fast, they were obviously delicious. Great job.

Thanks Gary for the like and the comment

They were very good but just a little too tender for me as the bones were popping out by themselves

My fault with using the pineapple juice , I think

yes pineapple juice can really breakdown the meat. I use it when I have tough cuts I want to tenderize before I put them on the BBQ. Does not take long, maybe an hour and a half and that is for a 2" thick piece of beef.

Beautiful, like all your cooks!! Makes me wish I had something that would cook at 225.
If you ever make them for me use the Pineapple juice. I like 'em tender :-)

Very nice of you to say.

Your masterbuilt will not reach 225, or you can't keep it that low

No problem these were tender, I'll put it on for ya.

No electric or pellet smoker here, David. I only use the old Masterbuilt gasser for cold smoking with a mailbox mod and couldn't keep lower temps when I actually put gas to it (which has been years).
The offset won't even think about anything below 250 or 260.
I'll live vicariously through your pics :-)

Wow , you know you will go hungry that way, and I must tell you a secret.. all my cooks are just plastic props...

This is a must do, and the other 3 people here have the dirty faces to agree to that

I think it about time to knock this off the list David. I will come up with something lower carb to put into the foil pan.

Wow David! That looks and sounds amazing! beautiful work, as always! I was traveling the past few days and look at what I miss when I don't have the site open in the background at work!

Thanks Jed for the love and the comment

They were great. I will do this again.
I also have to play catch up . Been off the site most of the week . Busy and not feeling so well. Think getting over it now.

I keep froze chunks of pineapple in freezer and grate them into marinades. Works wonders on tough meat. My favorite is korean flanken ribs. Makes them so tender.

DRKsmoking,

Great Job on your Bacon on a Stick cook! I'm getting ready to try this myself. Two questions if I may:

1. Did you use a meat probe during your cook, and if so,

2. At what internal meat temperature did you remove the Bacon on a Stick from your smoker?

Thank You for your time!
Steve

Hi Steve

Thanks for saying so.

I always use my Inkbird probes for all my smokes/cooks except for ribs or chicken wings. Not enough meat to get a good read
as you might be laying the probe against a bone and that does not work.

with the ribs you can tell by texture , softness when pushing against the meat , or how it flexes ie: bend test when you pick it up with tongs
or by the look of draw back ie: meat shrinking away from the end of the bones

I loved this way of doing the ribs, I have done it a few times. Give it a try and post how it turned out.
Here is another way i did it , cured the ribs than tied them into a ring and filled the ring with loaded mashed potatoes. It is the Anniversary post for
being on here for a year. tried to do something special. You can really see the meat pull back on the bones
