Burnt Ends

[michaelmilitello]

3 pounds of country style ribs (pork shoulder in these parts) cubed.  Place in gallon bag with a quarter cup of rub and some olive oil to coat.  Left in fridge over night. 


Smoked on the WSM with hickory and apple for about 3 hours. 

Braised with some bbq sauce, brown sugar, honey, and butter. 

I saved the juice, defatted it, and mixed it with some bbq sauce to glaze at the very end for 15 minutes. 

Was quite good.  The sauce mixed with pan juices made a heckuva flavorful glaze. 


Bear down!

Looks awesome. I like the defatted juice and sauce idea. I'll try that sometime. I just did 2 pork butts Saturday and added back the defatted juice. I didn't think of saving any for the sauce.

I tried it last week on some spare ribs.  Really kicks the flavor up.  Adds richness.

looks delish!  What is/how do you defat the juice?

You can skim the fat off the cooled juice or use a fat separator which is what I do.

I have a pork shoulder that I defrosted last night- going to cube now and place some rub on them. So smoke for 2.5 - 3 hours than place in foil pan and braise for how long? I don't want to dry them out. Thanks guys
