What's on the grill, folks?

[Boar]

I finally found some Texas Style Beef Back Ribs.  They look real meaty.  Most of the beef ribs I see are all bones and little meat.  I have never done beef ribs before so can't wait to try them on the pellet smomer.  I see on RH's site that he does them pretty much like pork ribs.  About a 5 hour smome.  I think I will do 3-1-1????  May be subject to change as things progress.  I just dusted them with some garlic, pepper, etc.

I think with beef you want something more like what are spare ribs on a pig.   I posted something about it in the good morning thread, probably the wrong place.   my bad. 

Anyway I hope it is interesting information.

WE're doin a rack a babybacks that were for last evening but we had fresh fish in their place last night.

Our first try at beef ribs was great!!!  Just did a 3-2-1 and used some Bullseye BBQ sauce that I got for $1 a bottle and added a little JAG of red wine to it for the juice when I foiled it.  I really don't think the brand of BBQ sauce matters that much.  It is just some flavor to add to the juices that are already there.  Worked great!!!  They were tender and had the flavor of chuck roast which is one of my favorite pieces of beef. I will definitely do them again.

You did great on those beef ribs [my favorite ribs].  The ribs you got look like they were cut fresh off the standing rib at the shop there.  That's the one's I look for myself.  Those cryo packaged ones don't have much meat at all.  If you can get a beef plate [that's where the short ribs are cut from] then you hit the gold mine.  I'm getting a couple for easter.  Just having them cut three times through so I have 3 strips to smoke.  good luck.

Ya RH, they were in the styrofoam plate with cellophane on top with the store label on them.  I will look for them more often now that I know what to look for.

Ribs look awesome LPS!

Did the annual meeting thing here yesterday so had the grill cranked up the afternoon before grilling the weenies for that. Put them on a bed of kraut in the roaster and that works slick. Was supposed to go out to supper the night before with my brother who spoke at the meeting. He was running late so had lamb chops as Plan B ready to grill in case. He opted for Plan B! 

[Boar]

looking dotch

[Dotch]

I admit it boar, I do look like a weenie...lol

Did you notice the Bombay is reaching a critical level? Best make a run for the border to replenish me supply!

[HD]

Holy Barbecue Batman....those ribs and lamb chops look great!

[Bobberineyes]

Great work gents!! Beef ribs, chops and weenies in kraut...awesone.

[HD]

Tonight we had pig chops, baby tators with broccoli & cheese.

[LPS]

Looks great Dotch.  Especially those lamb chops.  I did find a guy here that is starting to raise sheep.  I told him to keep me in the loop for a lamb big enough to butcher when he has them.  He just got some ewes and a buck so is in the beginning stage.  SO to you Dotch.  How old should they be butchered and how much should they weigh at that stage?  Also what is the cost per lb. live weight for them?

When to butcher depends a little on the breed and how they're being fed. Also personal preference. A lot of the lambs if they're being fed grain right along can be ready in 6 - 7 months. I like the weight at 100 - 120 lb.s while some will push for up to 140 lber's. Some breeds like our Cheviots can easily go a year and maintain the flavor of the meat while increasing the size of the cuts without getting ridiculously fat. They also convert fairly well on grass for those wanting "grass fed". Not the way I like it but we sell breeding stock to people who raise grass fed. As far as price on the hoof, looked at the Zumbrota market tonight in Agri-News and it was $1.25 - $1.60 per lb. There were a few as high as $1.80.

Sure looked good to me! I had a couple of Stouffers in the freezer for emergencies....thank god. I can't stand on this leg long enough to make a real dinner or do anything. Think I'll head in to get seen tomorrow....that purple and yellow bloated leg just ain't very pretty.   

[Reinhard]

Smoked a bone in NY strip roast the other day.  Had it in the freezer from a sale.  Decided to make hoagies from the roast.  Turned out nice.  Pulled it from the smoker at 130 internal.  Let it rest and sliced it as thin as I could and put the slices in au jus.    Did some with melted cheese and some without.  good luck

Saw some decent looking lamb pieces parts at Costco today, not to interfere with all the nonsense.  They were from Australia, mate.   Throw another lamb on the barbie....

(not that I am much of a lamb connoisseur)

[Rebel SS]

I had boneless seasoned center cut piggy fillets. Melt in yer mouth soft, with some cauliflower in cheese sauce.  They just weren't on the grill....
