That is one excellent cook. I love those HEB finger ribs, I cook them all the time !! Would also love to see a recipe for that sweet potato casserole. Again, well done sir !!!

(just saw your note, Malcom Reed recipe on the sweet potato ... cool !!! )

That all looks so good. the sweet potato casserole is something that I need to try as we are always looking for good sides to go with the meat.

I knew I shouldn’t open this post. Man those ribs look great. Love beef ribs.

Thanks everyone. A couple notes on the cook and a question.

1. The cabbage turned out much better this time. I cut a wider core, put the liquid butter in first and then the meat. I also smoked it at 225 for 3 hours instead of 2.

2. The sweet potatoes actually rose like a soufflé at one point during the cook. I wasn't expecting it, wasn't ready to eat and it fell back down. They were still good.

3. Beef ribs. These aren't my favorite beef ribs. I much prefer the ribs I can get when the butcher at HEB debones prime rib. The meat on the ones yesterday was excellent but the membrane was a killer. I know the prevailing wisdom is to not remove the membrane on beef ribs but I'm curious what this board thinks. Will they just fall apart if I remove it?
