HEB's new pork 'ribs'

[JethroTull]

Has anyone else tried these new "ribs" HEB is selling? They are cross sections of Boston Butt, AKA pork shoulder roast, cut about an inch thick. I saw them for the first time heading into the Memorial Day weekend. I bought a pack that had five slices.

Did them Saturday on the Weber instead of my smoker using the indirect method. Used Salt Lick's rub and first put them directly over the coals to get a little carmelization going. Then moved them off the fire and brushed a little of Salt Lick's original mustard based sauce on each side. In about two hours at 275 to 325 degrees, they were mighty tasty, and I didn't have to spend all day, 11 to 14 hours, tending the fire. I added a couple of chunks of hickory three or four times over the two hours. I basted them once more during the two hours.

Definitely not the purist's method for Carolina Pulled Pork, but very tasty nonetheless.

Sorry, no pics. Jethro is old and not very tech savvy. Maybe Jethro Jr. can teach me that one day, but first I assume I would have to replace my Kodak Brownie. And, I think I'd rather spend the money to upgrade my LHF membership so I won't be parking in State Garage R this season.

Aren't those just "country style" pork ribs? Those have been around a while - with bone or boneless. They are quite tasty.

I think these are different. At least, they still had the "country style" in the bin next to these.

It is a pig. No matter how you dress up swine..... it's still is an animal that roots in it's own crap.

A cow rib, is the only rib worth eating.

Come on folks. Most on here know that I am the resident defender of the beef rib. Of course for effect I overstate my cause.

That post was VERY tongue in cheek. Perhaps you missed on another thread where I wrote, "step up to cow."

And for what it is worth I like pork in sausage, but other than that I don't really like pork BBQ. Pork is great a lot of ways, but I find it inferior to beef BBQ.

I like pork ribs. I like beef ribs. I like BBQ.

Amen.

I never liked beef ribs until I ate at coopers-- now I could find any like that at the store

I can't believe I wasn't invited to dinner.

I thought for a second that TYO said he liked cow taint.

Cow ribs are for buzzards!
