My main point here is having to wrap the meat, and I think it's consistent with my other statements in this thread. I get the point of it, but one you wrap any cut of meat, you are no longer BBQ'ing, your braising. That's fine, but everything you get from containing the the meat in a wrap (decreased cooking time), you lose in the texture of the cut. Yes, you pick up moisture, but what's the point if you lose the crispiness of the bark? Case in Point (Brisket pun), what's the most desirable cut from a brisket? Burnt ends...


I can't speak for others, but I've never had any bark issues from wrapping a brisket in peach paper to get through the stall. I have had more than one dry out on me when I didn't wrap them though.

That being said, is there any debate that pork ribs are superior to beef ribs?


No.

I'll go as far as to say Pork Ribs are the gateway drug to BBQ addiction....

If y'all ever eat open pit, whole hog BBQ slow cooked with hickory slabs, you'll throw rocks at all the other meats!!

Yes. and I'll put my beans up against anyone's. I always save/freeze the last of the leftover meat to season my next batch of beans and cook them on the smoker for the final 2-3 hours of the cook. The one time I used brisket to season them, I got a thumbs down from the family...

Charcoaled bbq largely equals off putting smoke. Yuck.

I will take straight wood or pellets any day.

Sounds like we have similar cooking styles.
My beans are usually gone way before any of the meats are gone.

Went to Kansas City to try their BBQ and was very underwhelmed. Tried a couple of places and their ribs were good, brisket bland and dry, sausage bland, chicken was ok but nothing great, pulled pork had a weird tang. But the beans were the worst, either too sweet, or too thin.

Not my cup of tea.

Pork is my least favorite meat.. without sauce I can't eat it. Now a fricking good brisket doesn't need sauce.

If we're giving out secrets, sauté a finely chopped medium onion almost to the point of caramelization and a throw it into the mix...

If the smoke it's producing is still white then yeah it's going to frick up whatever you're cooking on it. You're looking for thin, "blue" smoke before it's ready for the meat.

Well, I guess that makes it easier to ask your husband to help keep an eye on it.

Pork is more forgiving because people drown it with BBQ sauce.

I'll be honest, I don't put much, if any, BBQ sauce on pork shoulders I smoke and don't put any on pork ribs. Because I agree, if you cook it right, it really doesn't need BBQ sauce.

I die a little inside every time I have to watch someone dump a bunch of fricking sauce on top of the pulled pork I got up at 3am to make them. To me it's like putting ketchup on a steak.

A good brisket needs no sauce.

Pork ribs are EASILY better than beef ribs.

Full hog easily better than a butt.

I find brisket easier to cook than butts. Butts take forever at 225.

Still want to try those sauces from other areas just out of curiosity.

A good brisket doesn't require BBQ sauce, kind of like a good steak. I wince every time somebody pulls out the A1 steak sauce
