Did the Bandit grow up on a farm as well? Joni Ernst style?

I doubt she'd ever seen a farm before she was 25 years old.

Dr. Ken = Lord of the Flies

Just got finished watching a show on channel 11 with Steven Raiclen hitting what he called the basics. It involved beef plate ribs that he smoked for 10 1/2 hours between 225 and 250. It seemed like overkill, especially when he spent quite a while and bourbon on a BBQ sauce.

Dr. Ken, what do you do with beef ribs? I'm thinking about a crack at them later this spring

Mmmmmm... pork cheeks

I've never really done anything with beef ribs. I'd probably just straight grill them.

Got an electric smoker and looking at doing a pork butt tomorrow. Probably a 4-5 pound roast. Is 8 hours a sufficient cook time?

That should have been plenty of time for an electric smoker.

How did it turn out?

Braise them in beef broth, with red wine or a stout.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Pretty good. Wound up doing 2 smaller shoulders...couldn't get a 4-5 lb, so I wound up with 2-3 lb. Took about 7 hours, totally juicy. Used an apple cider brine Friday night...then a rub with white & brown sugar, paprika, kosher salt, pepper, onion powder & garlic powder...smoked with hickory. Tasted great. Used the brine in the water pan, too. There was enough left that my Father-in-law wanted leftovers to take back to Michigan with him...that was a win.

Let me know as you go on how you like the electric smoker. I saw one at the store that looked intriguing to me. It had the electric box on the side and used pellets. It seemed to me a can't screw it up way to smoke. Dial in the temp like and oven and sit back and wait.

Yeah, I got this one from a buddy for a 12 pack...it's like new, but he's moving to Orlando, and doesn't want to drag it with him. I've used it at his house before, and it's pretty easy. Heating element is on the bottom. Just uses regular wood chips. Dial temp is pretty easy to regulate.

I'd suggest next time using an injector instead of a brine. Depending on the size of the shoulder, the brine isn't going to penetrate through the meat as well and the injector can be done pretty closely to the time you throw it on. It doesn't really need to soak in.

You can just use a cheap old plastic injector like you'd get with a marinade bottle for a turkey injection or buy a regular one.

I think you'll be happy with the results.

I think I actually have an injector kit that we got for a wedding gift....

I will be smoking 2 14lb briskets and roasting a 75lb pig tomorrow for my daughters baptism.

Bought a shitload of oak, apple, cherry and hickory logs. I will be using oak and apple on the open pit for the hog and cherry and hickory for the brisket.
