in Pork
Tried something new when I did a smoke a few weeks ago. Initial trial was on my Stumps Baby and then confirmed my findings using my BGE. Hope you all enjoy.

    That's interesting that beef tallow wouldn't take away from the overall pork flavor of the ribs.

    I actually rendered pork fat and created lard or the pork equivalent of beef tallow. I’m thinking beef tallow wouldn’t be so hot on ribs.

    I can't believe that a mop made from a combo of lard and bbq sauce works a lot better than one made from Parkay and bbq sauce.  

    You're like some kind of bbq savant with these tricks.

    I don’t know about savant; an old friend taught me the parkay/bbq sauce mop. After watching all the beef tallow brisket videos figured there might be a good similar use for lard. I rendered a bunch and was able to fry up so chicharrones too!

    That makes way more sense. My mind went to beef as you clearly say pork in the video. Sorry about that.

    I pour off my bacon grease every morning into a 28-oz can; bet that would kick it up a notch.
