That's a whale of a big cookup right there.......stuff looks grate !!!!!!
How'd you like the applewood rub on ribs?
Thanks sir! It definitely did the ribs justice! I bought them on sale from Sams & the guy in the meat suggested that I soak them in Salt water for 45 mins rinse them off & cook them immediately since they were " on sale meat"! Normally I'd have taken his advice and then froze them. But, I was tired from working & didn't feel like making space in my freezer!
When I took them out to wash them and brine them (4 days later), I started to take them back but I remembered how my dad used to soak deer in Salt water overnight to draw out the blood & gamey taste. I figured they would come out fine if I had enough salt in the brine (which they did).
Taste wise I gave them an 8 without sauce (because of the condition of the meat) & a 9.5 with the sauce! They were very juicy and had just the right amount of crust on them!
I used Pecan as I have plenty of it around, but I'm going to experiment with some different fruit woods and with mesquite a little. I have some of the mini logs from Academy.
I have already decided that I need to learn how to make my own rubs because look at this...
Both of these were full when I started cooking yesterday! That can start to add up after a while! Lol So any advice or recipes that you gentlemen can share with me, it would be greatly appreciated!
