Re: Meats! US to UK cut conversions

Great information guys, I appreciate it immensely. What about beef ribs? Do you all have short ribs and back ribs and are they referred to as such?

Thanks in advance

Re: Please tell me this isn't normal: Heatbead problem

Try spraying a little vegetable oil on the newspaper before you wad it up, this helps it to burn longer.

Re: Greetings from Texas

One of my favorites is a hard cider (1 pint)and a little salt (1/2 Tablespoon). I let it set over-night but you might want to start with a few hours. Be sure and rinse it well to get the salt off. To adjust a little add some orange peels or cranberries.

Think about the flavors YOU like with ...

Re: Greetings from Texas

Thanks for the welcome! Fully agree with the salt. I make my own runs, little to none on pork, moderate on brisket and I brine poultry. Seem to work well.

Re: Regional Rubs

One thing that a lot of regions, especially the Carolinas like to do is spray the racks with apple juice for sweetness and bark or apple cider vinegar for the tang. Although not a rub, they also like to make a simple sauce of vinegar and red pepper flakes, it would be interesting to try malt vinegar ...

As an American I agree that most of our rub recipes are too salty. As for my own recipes I use little or none on anything but beef. On both brisket and ribs I use "Texas Tuxedo" a simple mixture of salt and pepper, probably a 30/70 mix and I tend to not smother it but a light coating rubbed in. I ...

Re: Smoking - Target Temps

I do pork butts and picnics at 220-240F and brisket and beef ribs between 260-280F. Again these are target temps and they sometime swing. Brisket I cook to an internal temp of 190F, beef ribs I let go until the bone becomes a little loose and the meat is pulling back.
