Title: Boston Butt Steaks.................country ribs
Post by: jcboxlot on August 28, 2015, 08:30:16 PM
I’m sure I posted this before, but dang are these good and will be better tomorrow on the gasser~!   Must be a food science thing.

4 lbs in bone country ribs, don’t get the small crap for the grocery store!

Brine overnight


Mustard and rub that you like

4 hours in SI, followed by 1 ½ sauced

5 ½ total hours in smoker.

225 degrees.

I used 3 oz cherry wood with apple juice kicker.

They temped at about 170 after the time, aok for pork but not high enough for a “pulled boston”.

Call me crazy, but I am 50/50 that I like these better than regular “ribs” take the cut choice.

Those look really good. I have tried them but with mixed results as I put them on for too long a time.  Congrats,

Hey John those look really good. Did you have the butcher cut them that thick for you? As have never seen them that thick at the grocery store.

The way the butcher sells them.  Yes, a lot better than small ones at any grocery store.

Not crazy at all, John!  Country ribs are the bomb, in my opinion!  I do them very similar to you, except I don't sauce them (but need to try that).  Lots of great meat on them, and they come out tender and juicy!
