I LOVE smoked pork ribs.
I don't think I'm alone in this but there's just something about gnawing that meat straight from the bone that's so primal and feels so “cave man”. I'm a carnivore to my core and there's just nothing more carnivorous than this.

Many years ago when I got my smoker, the main reason was so I could do ribs. There is absolutely nothing better than messy tender ribs. I moved on from the 3-2-1 method a long time ago. Never got them ribs tender enough!
Came here looking for a lamb rib and shoulder recipe`s ,might be time to add those to your lamb recipe line up.
I’ve purchased both of your rub recipes and they are awesome I also look forward to when you put out another fantastic recipe which most of them I’ll make on my Woodwind 36 pellet smoker thanks for sharing Russ M
So Maki the Feral Afghan Refugee Cat went outside one afternoon the end of this past September and didn’t come home.
We went crazy looking for her. We set up traps and cameras and posted on our neighborhood listserv and flooded the zone with “Lost Cat” signs.
(Trust me this is about my favorite smoked ribs…)
We posted signs in the neighborhood separated from our house by two streets and a creek. After 3 weeks, I got a phone call from Mike. He told me that he and his wife Natalie had been feeding Maki, and he texted me a photo of her eating on their sun deck.
We went over there and set up a trap, because she’s very flighty and would probably run off if I tried to pick her up. Ten minutes after I got home, they called me; she’s in the trap.
Maki is home again. She’s lost her outdoor privileges and now wears a GPS in case she escapes.
And we’re having Mike and Natalie and their boy over for dinner tonight. I’m making the Jazzed Up Raspberry Short Ribs. I expect it’ll be a big hit because I noticed when I was there that Mike has a Traeger smoker out back.
I am going to say all of them, they all look so good i just can’t pick one
I love you have these emails and recipes for smoking meat I have enjoyed many of them so thank you
