Naturiffic Test Kitchen: Country Style Ribs - in progress

SirPorkaLot · Jul 16, 2018

When I want to test a seasoning for pork. I like to keep it simple.

Country style ribs cut from a boneless butt.

That should work.

There are two trays, one with Seasoning Y and one with Seasoning Z.
There will only be smoke hitting these, no sauce, no foil.

I want to be able to taste the (seasoned) meat.

Seasoning “Y”

Seasoning “Z”

A friend left his smoker over here during our last smoke session, so I fired it up today.

(Y = left, Z = right)

If it’s half as good as your other seasonings (especially q salt and peppery-lime) I’ll be in for both!

Boneless country style ribs are typically cut from the shoulder, while bone-in country style ribs come from the blade (scapula).

Neither are actually ribs, but a meaty & fatty cut that’s easy to smoke

Looks like your cuts made for some perfectly even steaks from that boneless shoulder. I always source my butts from Costco and they come boneless and 2 to a pack. While I always know what to do with one of them (smoke it whole), I'm always left wondering how to use the second. Now I know. Any tips on how to butcher it into those even cuts? Also, what temp do you take them to?

I like country style..as you said..easy to cook..for me they usually have just the right amount of fat.

Yours are looking very good..waiting to see the finished product.

Beautiful pork. I love country style ribs
I'm betting your backyard isn't as lush as it was in North Carolina.

Looking great, what time is supper? :wink:

SirPorkaLot · Jul 17, 2018

I consider this a successful test.
I not only got some good data, I made some kick ass CSRs.

Sliced shot

Look for the new release within the next 30 days!

Well, this thread just solidified my intent to purchase and in addition to the Q salt, I picked up some of the dry brine as well.

I couldn’t wait for another 30 days!
