SRF Kurobuta Spares

DMW

So awhile back SRF had a sales on pork and I picked up some spares. Tiny little things, 2.25#, but they look pretty.


Head Country rub and on the XL with cherry wood for smoke


After about 5 hours or so they were done





Verdict? What little meat was there was really good. Head Country on ribs is a winner. For the money, I probably won't order these again. The difference between these and standard ribs isn't that significant.

I have a pork collar and loin roast from SRF in the freezer I'm really looking forward to.

I thought the same. Purchased them on sale and was like, wow!  Not enough to feed my boys.  Grabbed a baby back rack as well.  Very good but really no difference in taste to what I can get locally.  Nothing like the brisket.   That is way worth it to me!  Thanks for sharing. I'll checkout that rub.

Good review Dwayne. Head Country proven again....pricy ribs not so much. Either way they look delish!

Thanks. I have four racks in the freezer to do for New Years Day, maybe I'll pick up a couple sets of baby backs at the supermarket to augment them.

@dmv what temp did you cook these at for 5 hours? have some to do myself. I usually cook BB at 240 for 5 hours straight up...do these seem to cook faster?

Ya I probably won't again either. Just no meat on them.
