Well this is a long story..but last weekend I tried a Lazy Q technique with two big briskets. Guess Fred's upright was too big for the available heat source so I finally pulled em off after 12 hours in the smoke and not near done. Finished one in the oven and ate it during the week (grand prize winner to be eggxact) and froze the other which was going to intended for a family reunion down at Fort Belknap this weekend which it suddenly dawned on me they did not like me as a child so there aint no sense in going to see em again as an adult huh? But I did thaw it out afore all this dawned on me...so..think I finish it off in the oven too and we have brisket for another week. I got to get some blockage on Fred so the heat dont escape so bad into his horizontal which dont much of nothing happen in there these days. I am a confirmed upright type person nowadays. I am still drinking beer and sour mash shooters but I am now taking Milk Thistle which prevents liver damage supposedly. I am also into raw organic apple cider vinegar. That will cure whut ails ya too.

actually BW, milk thistle not only can lower elevated liver enzymes but can regenerate damaged liver cells. So, drink all you want, just take your Milk Thistle. Only thing is, don't buy it at Wal-Mart or the grocery store. That stuff ain't guarnateed. Get yourself to a health food store and ask someone who knows and can get you the good stuff....

Well God willing I'll be slow cooking some reebs this weekend. Just don't know what day yet. Either today or Monday(3 day weekend). Don't know much about these kinda reebs. The package says pork riblets and on the back it says swift were it usually says select or choice. I sure I hope didn't waste my money but they were only $1.37 a lb I bought 15 lbs worth. I'll be using oak and either mesquite, pecan or maybe persimmon if it's dry. We shall see.

Tami,
I'm guessin the pork riblets are a smaller sized rib, maybe cut from the rib itself but from the underside so you get some meat but no a lot of bone. Probably aren't bad, just not the size you are use to. Am I in the ballpark here??

[perryranch]

Guess I should have said how big they are. One is roughly 8.5 lbs and the other is about 7.25 lb. They look a whole lot like spare ribs. I'm going to cook them like I did the spare ribs.

Really curious at what swift is. It's in a circle just like choice and select are on spare ribs and on briskets.
