    Pickling salt is so fine in size...almost a powder....blend well, absorbs better...

    @YukonRon, finally gave these a try last night, most excellent.  Will also give your "Peach" recipe a go the next time I do a pork butt.  Thank you for sharing your methods.

    They look awesome. Very glad they turned out for you. You will really like the peach butt method. Pass it on....

    Kind of funny, but now in Louisville, you can't find peach preserves anywhere. Everybody is hording it for pork bbq cooks.

    I asked for them at one store, and they told me they get in about 4 cases/shipment, and are gone within hours.

    YukonRon, these are going on tomorrow. My only question would be I've recently been using the Joetissierie for my ribs, would this just cause the preserves when heated to drip off. And would just doing them regularly rather than the rotissierie be a better idea when using the preserves? My son is actually going to be doing the ribs, I'll just be his helper. Looking forward to the cook. Thank you.

    Never done the rotisserie, but yes, the preserves would likely slide off during the process. I have always laid them flat and let them ride indirect, low and slow. BBRs 225⁰-250⁰F for about 5 hours .....until the toothpick says they are done.
    Put a pan under them.

    He got it from me. Just kidding. I was preparing a brine a few years ago and ran out of regular table salt.
    My Beautiful Wife had some pickling salt so I just used that at the same weight. Never went back.
    It works great...

    I just finished a 6 pound bone in, 18 hours on the egg. CRAZIEST COOK, ever....dropped ten degrees, twice during the stall.

    When done I was shredding it with our son, his girl friend and My Beautiful Wife in the kitchen with me, I was only able to get 3.5 pounds out of it. I could not keep their hands out of the pan.

    We destroyed 1/2 pound on nachos soon there after.

    Something you may wish to try:

    I have taken 1 pound, and put it in a one gallon plastic bag compress and roll very tightly, expelling all the air out as you roll it tightly. Place in the fridge overnight, then transfer the formed meat to a food saver bag. Freeze then thaw and remove. 

    Warm to desired temp.....and slice it like you would do pork tenderloin. You can reshred it if you want, but it makes killer bbq sliders on kings rolls with either sauce or mustard of your choice.

    We been making red beans and rice with the pork and adding garlic infused sriracha. It is "Makes your tongue slap your brains out" good.

    Now let's hear more about this garlic infused sriracha? I believe it was asked about in another thread, or possibly this one earlier.

    @Moleman

    I just take juice from garlic, you can make your own, or buy it at the grocery store, mix it to your flavor level with sriracha, and apply to everything you eat.

    It fails to suck.

    About to this give this a try in a couple of hours.  Day of relaxing, drinking, and smelling the greatness of the smoke this will create.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I hope you enjoy as much as we have. Have fun. If you can find either a granache, or pinot noir french Rosé, I recommend it highly when serving with that meal.

    Have you ever tried a Pinotage with BBQ?  I highly recommend it.

    We have and love it. It is either pinotage or rosé with Q around here. We got caught up in Rosé a couple years ago while in Burgundy. €3.00 a liter,  Bbq pork chops, and the cheeses, kind of went together very well.

    Which reminds me.... I have a 2004 burgundy in the rack, screaming to be opened. Last bottle from our trip.

    BTW.....SG just released their first Rosé. I bought 6. It is a grenache and PN blend. As good as I have ever had. If you can find it, buy it.

     Finished.  Never wrapped.  I like them so there is a slight pull from the bone, but not fall off the bone(too mushy for my preference that way).  They were cooked perfectly.  Took 6 1/2 hours and I let them rest for 30 minutes.  

    They were outstanding.

    Thanks Ron for the recipe.

    So happy you liked them. I agree, a little pull, defines perfect ribs.

    Play it forward, share it with others.
