That’s roughly 20 lbs of ribs. Cost me 60sh bucks Costco for two packs of 3. I really like them. The bark was perfect too. I’ve never frozen and reheated before but I wanted to try on the smoker forums people do it all the time.

put in fridge next day reheat in mini oven for a bit. Hoping they taste fine. It’s just so much work to smoke that id rather load the smoker up and make it worth while

the photo is then inside a little cooler, they rest for 30 mins to an hour before we dig in. Let’s the juices soak in fully.

try to find an 'meat distributor/packer'. For me there's a "VIrginia Meat Inc." in Manassas in a run-down "shack" that will cut you anything you want and his prices are not quite wholesale but very attractive. You can try looking in the 'ethnic' part of town.

No one here can compete with Costco and Sam’s club, those same ribs anywhere would be 100 bucks. Double the prices, and I’m in Dayton. Ethnic places would be in a bad area.

in Florida we had a ton of places like that but not here.

there’s a butchery I really like that’s close but their ribs are like 8 bucks a pound, and honestly Costco’s are meatier and overall same quality.

We just got a chain of bbq places called city bbq, my friend brought us home a platter for 150 bucks, omg it was so terrible. We got like 2-3 pounds of meat total. Blew my mind

that’s why I decided tobuy my own smoker and do it on my own. Brisket etc cost me 40-50 bucks but I can feed myself friends and family and they even chip in money towards it.

basically got about 2 school lunch sized portions each. 4 of us.

They'll be fine re-heated. In fact, I almost prefer my brisket the next day. The smoke seems "set" over night in the fridge. But I like a heavy smoke flavor.

Let me see if I can find some of my bbq pics.

A few wings and cornish hens, my personal favorite.

And some burnt ends and brisket

And some beef short ribs.

Man, I'd love to do a whole hog. And that looks like a hell of a pit. Nice!

What’s the best type of meat to make Philly cheesesteaks? I read ribeye, rump roast, etc. just bought a griddle for the grille wanting to make some.

 

[Chef jpd]

Boneless ribeye is what Pat's and Geno's in Philly use.
NY strip works just as well.

 

[Cobra Jet]

Pat's and Geno's are tourist spots. I'd hit up Jim's on 4th and South and do whatever it is that they do.

LMAO - here goes the cheesesteak wars... (and outside of Philly, I’ve never know anyone to replicate the overall taste - or the buns/bread used).

ive had phillis all over the usa ive never had authentic Philly but id love to get some one day. my local places. locally though we have a place called submarine house, they make pretty good subs, not sure on what meat or how authentic style it is. but I love them all.

you eat this whole triple meat sub in like 16 minutes, I forget I havnt done them in a few years. but you get it free, and shirt and entered to win a grand and like 10k to charity.

I am able to finish my sub in about 3 and a half minutes, my friend finished with like 20 seconds to spare. I quit eating them for these little tourneys because I always felt like dying afterwards.

the actual finalist at the end of these eats it in like... 1 minute.. but ive been wanting to make all the foods I like myself. Oh, these subs cost 24 bucks each. so. Id totally be down to make my own here on out.


lets be real- I am 150lbs 5'8, I can finish mine below 4 minutes, these dudes eat them in 1 minute.

When I see "Philly cheesesteak" on the menu outside of the tri-state, I have this impulse to get it. While many of them have been good sandwiches, not a one of them have been correct. There's a lot of little details that are always off. The problem in execution across the board tends to be overthinking it. I feel like they look at the simple/cheap ingredient list, and say, "I can do better". In doing so, they miss the mark. The sandwich is supposed to be cheap and kinda crap. That's what makes them so good

Yea, coming from the East Coast, it’s kind of like being served pizza in the middle of Kentucky - it’s just isn’t the same (and is it pizza)?

The same can be said with having genuine TX Brisket in TX - it just isn’t the same when served up in NJ/PA/NY regions...

LMAO

can you post how to smoke your brisket? I may pick one up. Costco has two types, point, and flat I think its called. the point is massive I think, and flat was the piece you primarily want?

Quite expensive, 30-40 dollars for a brisket. but I am interested in smoking one


also- saw this post after, I want to make beef short ribs too. Costco sells both brisket, ribs, beef short ribs. all ive been managing to smoke is baby back ribs. ive never had beef short ribs.
