Looks great and I’m sure the Duroc was some tasty pork too.

Where do you get Duroc? I’ve never had or seen any for sale.

I get them from Creekstone Farms they run sales on them from time to time. I have had really good luck with them. I have not seen them locally.

Thanks! There must be a really big difference in taste?

The meat is darker in color then the normal pork we get in a the store. Flavor is "porkier" (is that a word) but not as strong as some of the other heritage breeds.

I just upped a bet with a buddy to cover the costs of Duroc ribs & Brisket from Creekstone including the loser gets 1- Rack & 5- Slices of Brisket.

I just learned COSTCO ribs have a lot more flavor than the grocery store ribs. We had to default to the grocery store because $1.99 a lb is hard to pass up. The "meatier" sticker on the side doesn't mean tastier.
Three racks at COSTCO were hovering around $70. New hog law in Calif Pigs almost have to be chauffeured to the slaughterhouse in a new Suburban. That's passed onto the buyer.
Some of the recall candidates have said they'll repeal that law. Calif laws are a cancer than has a bad record of metastasizing across the nation.

I’ve been getting 2-Paks from Sam’s so for Labor Day I doubled up . Just smoked #3 of 4 with the last rack in the freezer. I took some to local Fire Department on Labor Day because I really appreciate 1st Responders. Each set was $2.47/# and just over 10#. Our Costco has St Louis 3-paks and I do prefer buying St Louis but with their much higher $/# I’ll go to Sam’s. and sometimes trim to SL
