Berkshire Turbo St. Louis Ribs

[wrgilb]

Last week I did ​ 1-1/2 racks of St. Louis style ribs from Berkshire Heritage Pig. These are black pigs with sweeter and darker meat. Originally bred in Berkshire, England. In Japan they are known as Kurobuta, they are to pork what Wagyu and Kobe are to beef. The night before coated with light Karo syrup and powered Honey rub, set in fridge. Next day set the Big Green Egg up with pecan and peach wood added to BGE lump charcoal. Got the temp up to 325-350. Rubbed ribs with worchestershire and used Oak Ridge BBQ’s Dominator rub. Cooked for 1 hour 40 minutes. Sauced the last 20 minutes with a 50/50 mix of Blues Hog regular and their Tennessee Red, removed and rested under foil for 10 minutes. Unbelievable!!!

They look fantastic! I’ve been wanting to try the kurobuta for a while, not found a supplier yet.

You can get the Kurobuta from SRF. I have bought the pork short ribs from them a couple times and they are always very good, almost a sweet succulent meat.

Really Brookshire's carries Berkshire (say that 10 time)?

I wonder about getting them from the U.K. before Brexit makes that more complicated, Henrik. They’d be sold as Berkshire there.

SRF’s price for Berkshire is, imho, outrageous.

I'd eat those ribs.

WOW. Those look awesome. I love how fast you cooked them and how they turned out. Beautiful smoke ring as well.

I can't tell the difference in taste between low & slow @ 225-250 and turbo style @ 325-350. I do the same temps on butts and again can't tell a difference in taste. This saves a lot of time and tastes great.

You didn’t? Yes you did & in a very nice way! Now can we all come over & eat too?

Were any pigs harmed in the eating of those ribs?
(if you answered "what" then you fit in!)
YUM!

There is an isle in the HEB by our vacation house in gruene labled "meat alternatives"....never been down it. Pigs...Gods gift to beef....

Man! Those look great. That Blues Hog Tennessee Sauce is great stuff! Especially on ribs!
