Um the recipe is posted.

Put it up there a few weeks ago (I think)

We had country style ribs once, ended up with country style ****. Had to chew and chew until it turned into cud.

Country ribs are butts cut in to strips. talk to the butcher about buying before they cut them up, In my area they come cryovac packed one whole butt to a pack. local stores cut them into country ribs and triple the price. Whole cryovac butts .69-.99 lb,
country ribs 1.99-2.79 lb.

Thanks Gary. I'll do that.

Can't wait to get rid of the Cud Mod

Turkey -- I've cooked lots of them. We wait till they go on sale for .99/lb and buy a bunch of them. Most of the time I throw them straight into the Bandera, Weber, Hasty Bake. Plain or marinated they should come out good. Somewhere I learned to do them bone side down.

Pork Butts -- Bill do you have a Sam's Club around you? I buy mine there by the case. Usually Excel brand, 2 to a cryo and they run 7 - 10 lbs each. The price varies alot but I have never paid more than about $1.15/lb. Usually its 70 to 80 cents/lb.

A good smoked turkey is the very reason that I do not own a fryer. Fried turkey is too much trouble and does not taste as good to me as smoked turkey. However some people really like the fried gobblers. I guess that is why they make chocolate and vanilla.

Carl,
The cases I get from Sam's come with 5- 2 to a cryo packs each for a total of 10 butts to a case.

I got Sams. Guess I need to join up.

I'm doing 1 whole bird in the fryer, 1 whole bird in the WSM, and 2 or 3 turkey breasts in the Bandera.

Fill up the rest of the space with wibs and loins, and wings.

Got 23 guests so far.

Wings will be off at Noon, wibs at 2, then the turkey glutony starts at 5.

Oh yeah, hope to get a pot of beans in there too :)

Don't know if you've got a Costco's around you but they have them there too.

willkat98 · 10-17-2003, 08:59 AM

Just opened Costco last month.

Is that a cash or Amex only place?

What about Sams?

chathorne · 10-17-2003, 09:01 AM

Pot of beans that's what i need this weekend!!!

chad · 10-17-2003, 09:42 PM

Sam's is Discover or ATM/Debit card. Unless you get the business card with credit. I had one when I was in the restaurant business -- my son has one now that he's in the biz!!

I haven't visited Costco to see what payment methods they accept.

Heath · 10-17-2003, 10:15 PM

Were the home of Costco out here. Fact is most of the heiarchy from Costco are our customers. Suprising thing is the prices here at Sam's are usually cheaper. It may be because they are trying to rub it in their faces so I don't know about the rest of you guys. Both are good for their case prices. One thing I noticed when purchasing for our company BBQ is they tend to have different sizes when it comes to how many are in a case. That really helps if one case is not enough but the other guy has a bigger case that will do.
