If you've got unwaxed butcher paper - use that. If you don't, then buy some. In the meantime, go ahead and use alum foil for wrap. It's fine, but it would be better to not make a habit out of using alum foil. (I'll leave the research to you.) If you like the smoke taste, use liquid smoke. Purists don't like it - but if you aren't using a smoker, you don't have a lot of options in the smoke-flavor department. A few drops of that will do in a pinch for the 1st phase. Wrap for 2nd phase, try to pick a sheet pan that has a high enough edge to contain any liquid droppings. There shouldn't be any, but then again - it does happen. When you unwrap, you'll need the higher edge while the rack tightens. There is good news - you won't need to spray the ribs nearly as much in the oven, the humidity there is more consistent than on a BBQ. They won't get that true wood flavor, but they'll cook more consistently and will probably be really good. If you're Keto, then you won't be using BBQ sauce - which is just fine, these shouldn't need any (and which also why I recommended a bit of liquid smoke.) I'm no "king of all things" - but I do know a thing or two about BBQ. Best of luck, Happy to help if I can. Either for this cook, or the next.

The juice on the cutting board in the front tells the tale. I don't usually eat venison - maybe sausage if it's 50/50 (comes from years of deer hunters trying to enlist me to reduce their inventory.) But these front pieces? "I'd stand in line with a glass of red wine." - Not a quote, just my 2 cents. Edited August 18, 2023 by GreatWhiteNorth 1
Husker_Du Posted August 23, 2023 Author Posted August 23, 2023 i'm sure this pic won't win any awards, but man, these beef ribs came out great (under the circumstances) still pink inside and yet fell off the bone. TBD

mspart Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Smoked Brisket yesterday with Apple chips, ran out of Mesquite. I don't recommend it. Mesquite is much better. The brisket was still pretty good but with a hint of smoky goodness rather than being overwhelmed by it. We used apple for the Turkey last year. Marvellous!! The brisket was big, had to cut it down to 3 pieces. Heading to the store to get more of both so I'm ready for Thanksgiving in a few months. mspart 3

Poultry is apparently best using the sweet woods. I usually like to blend smokes, and my favorites are pecan and cherry for poultry, and hickory and apple for pork butt.

mspart Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Not being a real smoker dude, I ran out of mesquite and had to use the apple. I'm rectifying that later tonight. mspart
