The latest batch served with broccolini and my bread:

Here’s my pork shoulder strips from yesterday, dry brined with Memphis Dust, 7+ hours in my Rec Tec pellet smoker at 225. I may never go back to whole pork shoulder....

Looking good folks! I am not sure they have shoulder cut country style ribs at the stores I frequent, but will look - it should be pretty obvious based on fat content if its pork loin or pork shoulder.

I am now waiting for mgaretz to give us "Blasphemy Brisket"....

I don't even want to think about it! (Blasphemy Brisket) If they don't have the country style ribs, just slice the shoulder into strips. It's actually cheaper that way.

Be sure to compare prices, especially of late. I recently bought country ribs at $1 per pound, which is an unheard of price. Their shoulder was priced around $1.60 per pound -- a more typical price.

Prices seem to vary a lot, even in normal times. I suspect country ribs are a good way to get rid of odds and ends, so they are sometimes priced under shoulder as a "loss leader".

I saw shoulder cut "country ribs" at Costco today - for $1.89 a pound, the same as their boneless butts. Down the road at Sam's bone-in butts were $1.29 a pound, and I already had a couple in the freezer, so that is what I am smoking overnight for tomorrow.

Doing these tomorrow on a PBC, along with 3 racks of StLs.
Trying to decide if these will fit on the half grate, or if I'll need to hang them.

I guess it depends on how HEB cuts them.
