Elk Ribs??
« on: May 21, 2017, 04:54:32 PM »
I have a couple of racks of fresh elk Ribs (long and interesting story).
I am thinking about smoking pork spare ribs tomorrow, and letting the elk go along for the ride.
I will use my Cajun Bandit on a 22.5" Kettle. I thought I would put the spares on the top rack, and the elk on the bottom.
Any suggestions for prepping elk Ribs prior to smoking?

I'm sure they're pretty lean so that could change things some. I think I'd just stay with whatever you are doing to the pork and call it good as far as method

Flavor wise salt and pepper

I'm not sure how elk ribs would cook vs. pork or beef, but the best burger I've ever had in my life was elk. What a super tasty meat. I'm anxious to hear how they turn out.
