I ate in the garage

WeberWho

This was my first shot at County Style Ribs. Not really sure what I was getting into but for $1.49 lb. for prime pork I was in! Smoked low and slow at 250. Sauced at 170 and pulled at 190. I had a couple friends over and we made it a few feet once off the grill. We ate in the garage since we were still hanging in the high 50's low 60's. We made 7 pounds of ribs after trimming and only had a few pieces left over. It was good but it tasted more like a thick pork chop than a consistently of a rib. I would definitely do this again for $1.50 lb. Don't mind the socket wrench set as the asparagus hot pad holder and the clear tubing for ambiance.

I must be an idiot. I didn't even know there was such a thing as prime pork? I just always thought  Berkshire and kurobuta was top of the line? I'll have to start paying closer attention.

However, it does look really good! Nicely done

Seems like its a bit of an obscure cut, not always available.   

Love me some country style ribs, yours look great @WeberWho

Those look awesome.  I have a feeling the "prime" is just a Smithfield marketing label but the pork looks great.

That looks dog gone good!

That does look really good.

Can't beat that! Looks great!

Those country style "ribs" are really cut up butts.  Versitile and delicious!  What a great reason to eat in the garage.  Taking "Pitmaster Privilege " to the max!

I could be mistaken but it looks like he has the country style ribs from the loin.  They have bones in them.

Since country style "ribs" are not a real cut, but a marketing strategy, they can be anything.  I usually see them as butchered butts though.  You're right though.  They look more "loiny" than "butty"

Probably good I didn't see the sale at Cub or I would've grabbed 20+ pounds.
Finally the snow is gone and eating in the garage is better than 25 below.
As usual you have a great cook that I'm jealous of.

Took me a little research to see what I even had and why it was $1.49lb. Thanks! @blasting

Thank you @SmokeyPitt Too be honest I didn't even notice the prime label until removing the packaging. I'm think it's just a gimic from them

Thanks! @blind99 Good amount of meat on the cheap. I just tossed on a St. Louis Style rack of ribs that could have got me 8 lbs of country ribs. Head scratcher....

Definitely more my style. Grub sitting on my lap on a fold out chair shooting the sheet with some high school buddies over some cold brewskies. Good times. Thanks! @Fred19Flintstone

Your too nice @bigguy136 More of a guessing game than anything cooking these things. I grabbed the last couple packages they had available. My wife heard an ad on the radio about ribs being on sale. So we went and checked it out. I was hoping it was for St. Louis Style ribs but no dice. Hoping to find them on sale with the Bone Daddy Classic rib competition coming up. Are you in the competition? I know you do the Poolside one but was wondering if you take part on this one as well?

Those look like the rib end of the pork loin. The shop I cut meat at in St. Louis country style almost always came from the rib end of the loin. Sometimes we'd cut the whole loin as country style if they were selling. That's more than likely why you said they tasted more like a pork chop.

@E-ville Egg Thanks for the explanation. It was still moist at 190 internal temp but definitely more of a pork chop texture. Very interesting. Thanks

Great job on the cook and dining location, I do country style (cut from butts) all the time. Smoke them @ 225-250 apple wood for about an hour with your favorite rub, then in a glass 9x13 pan with a can of coke tightly covered with foil same 250 temp until they fall apart like pulled pork. Usually dome in 4-5 hours, if you want them with more of a bite off the bone rib just pull them before they fall apart. Oh and you will never know the coke is on them.

Hey thanks for the tip @Jupiter Jim I'll have to remember that for next time. Much appreciated
