Tex_77 Chef calldoctoday It was actually just a Strip Steak that I reverse seared. THe lighting made the outside look a bit more charred that it actually was. I pulled it when the IT was 127 and then let it dwell about 5° or so. It had been in my fridge in a vacuum-sealed bag for about 5 days and I really believe it was more tender because of that. I am going to make Austin (Well Walton’s) buy some Strip Steaks, then vac seal them and eat them every 2 days up to 15 days and see if the “wet again” in a vac bag is actually making them more tender.
Jonathon Tell us how it goes with that idea with Austin. I can see that “look” from here.

Anyone have a good recipe to try or techniques to make sure I don’t dry them out?
How do you go about cooking them? What’s your temperature? Do you wrap? What determines when you take them off the pit?
Butts can take a little more heat than briskets or ribs because they have less surface area, but just a little. You don’t want your grate temperature to stay over 250F if you aren’t wrapping them. I usually don’t wrap pork butts, because I like to have that hard bark to mix in with the softer inside pork (nice texture), but I will wrap them if I don’t have the time to cook them unwrapped. I’ll wrap them like I wrap a brisket (somewhere around 160-165F internal).
You need to make sure you’ve cooked it until it’s done. An underdone pork butt can feel like it’s dry. If you are pulling, you want the internal temp to be at least 200F, but the best test is that you can pull the bone out cleanly.
You also need to rest them before you pull them. If you pull them while they are “right off the pit” hot, they can dry out quickly. I know some folks that do that, but those same folks mix in a sauce at the same time they are pulling. Adding that sauce effectively cools the meat so that it doesn’t dry out (and adds moisture back).
TexLaw thanks. What I am looking for is a good way to cook beef ribs. I haven’t quite figured out how to cook them consistently, usually end up tough/dry, dogs are always happy. Maybe I need to get meatier ribs. I cook them similar to pork ribs, low and slow, around 225°, season with a steak seasoning, no sauce or wrap.

YooperDog I wouldn’t waste my time with back ribs, get plate ribs and pretty nuch treat them like brisket.

Afternoon tea for the ladies!

Chef Really nice Te’ Time Spread for the ladies, but what I really like is your nice solid wood siding & wood windows. Very nice, organic, & lots of light.

Hot, humid and sticky. Ribeye sounds like to much.
Answer… Double stack BLT.
Did the trick. Light and refreshing.
Oh yeah… The Christian Brothers were along for the ride.

Something quick after a productive day. Pulled pork nachos with green hatch Chile cheese sauce, topped with onions, pickled jalapenos and BBQ sauce.

Tex_77 and rich Thanks again. I will check with the butcher and have him save me some plate ribs. The ones at the store just don’t work right. I do okay with short ribs for Asian and braising for a nice cold weather meal. Just trying to get the dino bones perfected when the nieces and nephews are around.
-
Nice looking Nachos, but Nacho Cheese.

I don’t know how productive my day was, although it looked pretty good until the end, & then it seems I got unproductive for over two weeks or more worth. So, how about some FAJEEEEETAS to cheer up the day with a little Margareeeeta or two to boot! Using Chuck steak though instead of the long used & preferred Skirt steak or even Flank. Skirt or even Flank is nearly impossible to find around here & if I do find it, $8.99 per pound or more. Insane, I know. Chuck is $2.99 so I marinate it with a custom blend & Walton’s Butchers Prime Brisket for several hours & hit the smoke at 225 using Dogwood & Mesquite for about 2 hours or so. It works. -

calldoctoday I have some fresh tortillas, I can bring right over. I pulled out my last flank for the same thing this weekend if we don’t have to go to a wedding. Even going to cook up a pot of pinto beans. And to make my wife even happier a big ol’ pitcher of on the rocks marqaritas.
