    I love cooking brisket, but don’t love eating it much. Usually just have a small piece of the point end.

    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.
    That's like the Snackwells phenomenon.

    If pork ribs are cheaper, but you eat more of them, how much $$ (or calories) do you really save vs. eating a few cubes of tastier beef ribs?

    Really the cost isn't a big factor for me.  It's more a matter of what keeps me (and usually my guests) going back for more.  What do I find people really rave about, even if they've had them several times.   That kind of thing.

    Most rubs taste the same after 3 hours on the grill.
    Most here would probably agree with that.  The goal is to find one that legit stands out and makes a difference.  There are some that do on particular cuts.

    Ok, how about another one. I think SRF Briskets are overpriced and overrated

    They certainly are if you don't know how to cook them.

    Same. If we didn’t teach classes (pre-Covid) I would probably cook 1-2 a year. I teach so I can cook them and not eat them 😂

    1/2 in steaks can be slow cooked, reversed seared and still be a delicious medium rare.

    Kurobuta pork ribs are amazing!  Tiny, but amazing.  I like their pork chops more than most steaks.
    Oz, are you referencing the French cut? I love those rascals. Their ribs are great too.

    Anatomically speaking, those are all in very different parts of the body.
