I’ll go first: pork ribs are better than beef ribs.

I do not like brisket. I have tried and tried and just never made or had brisket that knocked my socks off.

By the way, the inspiration for this thread are some SRF beef ribs I smoked today. They’re great, don’t get me wrong, but they’re almost too rich. A couple of cubes and I’m done. Whereas I cannot stop eating the pork ribs I make."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

Sweet Baby Rays does not deserve to be offered as a sauce for any Q. And as a side bar, if cooked right no sauce needed.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.

I can agree with perhaps the top 5 but can't stretch it to 10.The Cen-Tex Smoker said:All bbq is overrated.
