Snake River Farms Pork (not Beef) Short Ribs

[DarienJim]

i see lots of recipes fir beef short ribs to smoke but nothing for pork. Anyone have any ideas outside of the usual baby back rib recipes?

I don't mean to sidetrack your thread, but this prompted me to visit the SRF website for the first time. They are selling Wagyu briskets for about $7/lb. That is not too much more than the current Costco price of $5/lb for Prime brisket. And they are offering free shipping through July 4. Very tempting!

I think the sale is only free shipping. Here it is, 20+ lbs. for $139, which is less than $7/lb:

I’m going to find out. I love Pittman’s meat church video will probably follow a spear rib recipe and temperature.

if you are. Just discovering SRF for the first time you’re in for a treat. Definitely more expensive then some others I have found them the best overall do far of mail order butchers.

What grade were you looking at? Black or gold….Gold costs more than black grade.

I also ordered the wagyu prime rib so we are going to smoke that also this weekend.

I just opted for black: https://www.snakeriverfarms.com/american-wagyu-prime-rib.html

Well they came out pretty good although I am not sure I would order them again nor would I say they are as good as beef short ribs. We ended up using the BGE over the Timberline 1300 and had great smoke. We ended up wrapping just at the end and only cooked them to 185-190 as they were taking a long time. We did sauce them up for day 2 and reheat in oven at 200 with new sauce and they were still tender. Here are pics of them seasoned up and then come off the GBE.

Did you ever find out where they were cut from? Looks like they were shoulder cut into rectangles.

No I did not. Researched it too and could not find out.
