Ribs and pulled pork, looking forward to cooking after being away for a week. I plan on testing out the Diamond King Smoker box in my vertical gas smoker.

As I have two racks of prime beef ribs in the freezer, I think I will see about a season-smoke-sous-shock-smoke approach to them. I'm thinking I need to get started on this on Friday to have em ready in time. I might be behind the curve already.Comment

I'm thinking ribs. Or maybe ribeyes on the SnS. Or both! I didn't make any ribs at all last year, which is definitely not the norm. Lot's of pulled pork for various graduations but no ribs. It's time.Comment

I won't know for sure until weds night. Unless I have a specific request (pork belly is a current request for this weekend) I typically wait till my local butcher posts specials for the week. That comes around close of business weds, for the following week. Usually something that can make up my mind for me. This is the one from last week, as you can see, some may find boneless ribeye attractive at $6.97.

Very nice - I've never tried a pork belly and definitely need to give it a go soon. -
I've done pork belly...... once. GREAT. Lots of fat. I mean, lots and lots of it. You may want to consider a drip tray for the fat that renders. Or not, personal preference but the end result is really amazing, and not all of the fat is gone, but whats left is insane.

The story of my first cook last weekend (ribs) went through the extended family quickly. I'm now on the hook for Memorial Day. My 18" Weber is too small to do enough ribs for 8 people though, so I'm thinking I'm going to try my hand at pulled pork this time.Comment

I have an Akaushi Wagyu brisket from Heritage Foods thawing for the weekend, haven't decided what else to go with. The nice thing about their brisket is that they come pretty much trimmed.Comment

Doing 4 butts & a prime packer brisket for a combined Retirement/Promotion/Tenure party for a bunch of folks I used to work with (before I retired
). I'm still the "go to" guy for smoked meats! 
Should be fun...

I'm smoking up 3 racks of ribs 3-2-1 style and finishing with my honey chipotle sauce, per the pregnant wife's request. Also grilling a new burger recipe, and some dogs for the kiddos. Not sure about all the sides yet, but I've heard rumors of sweet potato salad, macaroni salad, potato skins. Should be a fun time.Comment

Chef check my wood haul from today. Apple from the 2012(?) Halloween storm that crippled northeast fora week w o power. And a big pile of cherry from a tree that went down recently. I'm set for a while. Band saw these down to manageable chunks and I'm in business. -
Notavegan: I've been wanting to try an all wood smoke. Haven't found a source for wood yet. Hope to soon tho.

Cooking on Saturday, reserving Monday to keep it in perspective.
Saturday's menu will be baby backs, baked beans, potato salad, and smoked chili rellenos (dipped in thick hush puppy batter).Comment
