Fellas.

Middle is still pink but I don't wana chance it. :/ :{

I don't see anything wrong with that.
I really wasn't trying to chance it. It had a smell to it,wasn't strong but you could smell it soon as I unwrapped it. Pics don't do it justice, that joint was grey on the outside on both sides .



Think I'm gonna try grilling ribs and snorts this weekend.
 
Anyone done ribs in the slow cooker/crock pot? Real good.

Am I the only one that doesn't like NON-grilled/smoked ribs?

The, "Fall off the bone" rib thing has never been of my liking.

Pause, but I enjoy biting and ripping the flesh off of the bone like a caveman
 
One of my favorite filipino dishes has ribs in a soup.

Personally tho.....i haven't met a rib dish i did not like if prepared correctly.

Grilled....smoked....wateva
 
Hard to do? I've always wanted to try this.

I pull the bottom membrane off the ribs and put a dry rub on them uncovered overnight in the fridge. Cut the rack in half so it will fit into slow cooker. Peel and cut 2 onions down into chunks to form a bed in the bottom of the cooker. 1/4 cup of water into bottom as well. Put the ribs on top of the onions leaning toward each other like a small tent. Depending on size of ribs about 8 hours on low should have them fall of the bone perfect. Also gives you amazing flavored onions as well from the grease from the ribs.

Man...That sounds real easy to do. I need to try this out.

What dry rub did you put on them? Home recipe?

youre not the only one, i feel the same way - rib should be cooked using fire.

I dont think rib should be fall of the bone either, it should be tender, but not too tender, and def not tough . When picking up a rib, the meat should not fall off, it should hold together. If it doesnt, its overdone.

Have mixed a few things together before, have used a rub from Bass Pro Shop. All a matter of preference.

If you want them sauced I recommend pulling about an hour before they would be done and put them into the oven hot enough to finish the cooking and caramelize the sauce.

When we fry wings we deep fry, pat dry to remove any grease, and then sauce and put into the oven for about 15-20 minutes. Pure perfection.

Anyone ever smoke chicken legs, and then fried them in pork fat? Kinda wana try something different.


Ribs are fa sho over cooked if they fallin off the bone, but never have i had some fall of the bone ribs that i didnt like.

If i get that perfect bite or fall off, i aint trippin either way, but if im tryna impress, i dont want fall off the bone.






Thinkin about sellin my rub and getting feedback.

Charge shipping and get us some samples out!
 
I gotta get the backyard lit one more time before it gets cold outside

You know fire and heat will not only cook meat but can also keep you warm right? Cold weather should not mean the end of outdoor cooking season.

I just ordered some accessories for my Big Easy cooker today. Got the drop in basket and the 22pc interior gadget pack. Prime so should be here by end of week. I've got a notion to do some chickens.
 
:lol Yeah I know but I can't sit out on my deck with my fam and enjoy the food afterwards

You're right tho, I may grill into this fall/winter. Never done it outside of thanksgiving.

Its hard to smoke in this cold northeast winters, unless youve got a pit with serious insulation. Another reason i love my bge. :smokin
Just sold my L, grtting the XL in a few weeks.
 
Man winter time is my favorite time of the year to smoke :lol

It is a lil bit more difficult maintaining your fire and smoke, but ill stay out there all day messin wit it.



I have a green egg but havent utilized it to its maximum potential smh.

Anyone seen those primo grills? All ceramic made in merica.
 
Man, I might just buy an actual SMOKER. A Masterbuilt.

@CelticsPride34

Which model?

That might be my Black Friday Gift
Don't get a masterbuilt.  If you want a cheaper smoker, get a weber smokey mountain smoker, they range from $200-400 (14"-22" I think).  A lot of great accessories for them, and the best smoker for the money IMO.

If you like to cook, I would suggest just spending the extra cash and getting a BGE, or Komodo or something similar.

I thought about getting a non BGE ceramic egg type grill, but I trust BGE.  They have been around forever and the accessories, and support available are second to none. IMO  Those komodos, primo, etc aren't even that much cheaper.  I mean whats one two hundred bucks when you are spending over a thousand.
 
Masterbuilt :lol

If your gona get a smoker, dont waste your money on something cheap, cuz once you get into it your gona wish you dropped a lil more cash on somethin better.

Webber smokey mountin is a great start like homeboy said, imo you cant go wrong wit webbers.

 I haven't looked into them much, and I don't know anyone who uses them.  However, people have gotten on me in the past saying that I "ruin the fun" of smoking by using a BGE.  The rationale being that because I only have to load it once with fuel at the beginning, and my wifi controlled blower controls the temp for a solid 18-24 hours that I take away the fun from monitoring and feeding the fire.  After about 10 years of smoking and checking on a damn fire every 30-60 minutes, that **** gets old real quick.  I like being able to check in every few hours, at least then I can get some other **** done during the day.

Dam you been doin this fir 10 years??
Wht do you smoke the best?
What style do you use
just as a hobby for ten years or so. I mostly do pork (ribs and butt) so id say i do that the best. Done whole hog a few times on a cinder pit. Done brisket and other beef a bunch of times, but i prefer pig so usually i stick with that. I dont really know what my style is. I gave up on making my own rub about two years in and just buy the premade stuff, its easier and much less time consuming and the flavor is great. I like my pork to be really sweet with some heat on the back end. Usually i get the sweetness with raw sugar or brown sugar and honey. The spice comes through w the rub.
