Ya buddy! My meat man told me it was down to 3.50 a pound so that sounds about right. He is not the cheapest but gets good stuff! I am doing pork overload this weekend. Two pork butts, three racks of baby backs and the appetizer is pork belly bites!! YUM!!! One thing I will tell you is if you are gonna wrap the brisket do it in butcher paper and not foil. Trust me. Get the red butcher paper.

Thanks. I have had a roll of the red butchers paper sitting for a month, so glad I get to use it. I miss having a butcher to go to. Would kill to get a chunk of pork belly.

Friday went on a charter out of Kenosha on Lake Michigan with some friends. Saturday and Sunday had meals of fresh grilled lake trout, with leftovers for lunch today.

Three more packages of lake trout and salmon in the freezer for another couple weekends in the near future.

Grilled some all beef hot dogs rotating evenly for 15 min while slowly browning the buns at a low temp and with all the fixins and a handful of chips and sweet pickles they were awesome. Couple Ding Dongs topped it all off. Sorry no pictures.

It is estimated that on the July 4th long weekend more than 155 million hot dogs are consumed in the United States. The July 4th weekend is the biggest hot dog consumption day of the year in the United States.

....and I never met a hot dog that I didn't like, sign me up!

Speaking of hot dogs, I recently bought one of these packages — purely by accident:

Beef Brisket hot dogs?

("Private Selection" is a Kroger brand, offered to compare with gourmet brands or regional brands that may be considered more upscale than the standard Kroger brand products.)

I have experienced many brands of hot dogs from the regular grocery store shelf, ranging from underwhelming to disappointing and I sure am no a "hot dog connoisseur", but short of buying hot dogs from some upscale charcutier, those were absolutely the best hot dogs I've ever had!

View attachment 61831 Thats it I am cooking ribs this weekend!! This was my creation on the 4th of July. I soak them in apple juice for a day before cooking them. I think that helps alot!

I am taking your advice slimcake and soaking my ribs in apple juice for the day prior to smoking, I was wondering if anyone has any tips on removing that membrane skin on the underside of the ribs, also what smoking chip flavors that you prefer for ribs, I know it’s personal taste but just throwing it out there
thank you in advance

Get under it with a small sharp knife. once you have it started grab it with a paper towel. It's just like a stubborn decal, you want to avoid ripping it! It just takes practice. If there are a few small pieces still on it won't hurt anything.

Pork belly bites last night and currently smoking two butts and the third rack of baby backs!!

I will have a good comparison as the first two racks soaked overnight and this third one didn't soak.

Failsafe fall of the bone ribs that works for me... large pan, racks of ribs (good ribs starts with good meat the fresher locally sourced the better) , remove membrane let sit with favorite rub, for a little spice use Slap-ya-mama seasoning, pour enough beer in bottom of pan about 1/2" deep, lay ribs in, cover ribs with thick cut smokehouse Applewood smoked bacon, cover with foil tightly, place in oven at 250 degrees for 4 hours, remove finish ribs on grill or open fire with favorite BBQ sauce just long enough to caramelize the sauce ( our favorite.... we mix 2 fat guys smoky and spicy ) can eat these even if you had no teeth or tongue yummmm
neglected to mention sorry.... remove bacon before saucing and grilling was just there for flavor.
