I bought a pack of country style ribs a few months back. Not knowing exactly what to do with them i Vac sealed & froze. This past sunday arouned 1:30 pm i had nagging desire to smell smoke. Having not prepared anything, i found the Country ribs in the freezer, partially thawed in MW, rubbed with a pork rub(from the forum) and put in 08n & set @250* with a chunk of hickory & 2 chunks cherry. Around 5:00pm, Not sure how long to cook, i searched the forum and found any where from 2 to 6 hrs at various temps. Oh well. At 6:30 I took a peek & they looked done, meat had pulled from the bone & had a good bark. I pulled froom 08 covered w/KC masterpiece & put on grill for 20 minutes. Man what a nice surprise. they were FANTASTIC! 99% of the fat had rendered, but they were still moist, with a flavor to die for. Love that cookshack!!!!--- The wife , who is soso on smoked stuff, had 3 helpings. we had the leftovers last night for dinner and if possible, they tasted better.
I would like to do this again, but am not really sure what the **** country style ribs are.. the bones were large , sorta like a pork Butt , but I am not really sure what they were. Any suggestions?
