Berkshire Pork Rib Cook
« Reply #-1 on: May 30, 2016, 12:41:00 PM »
So I figured I'd post this entire cook and see if these ribs are worth the extra cash. I'll be cooking one rack today and one tomorrow morning to bring into work.

Sunday night, rubbed with Kosher salt and wrapped for overnight



Both racks just rubbed with Meathead Memphis Dust



I'll be using Stubbs Charcoal and two 4oz chunks of Peach Wood from Fruita

To be continued....

Here we are at exactly two hours, un-sauced. They are pretty much done. I'll sauce and put back on for 5 minutes...

First off, WOW, what an outstanding pork flavor with the Berkshire ribs. I don't really know how to even describe the difference. I'll definitely buy them again on certain occasions!

Here they are sliced and plated...



Definitely juicy!



I don't like fall off the bone ribs, these were done in exactly 2 hours, they have a nice bite / pull from the bone...



and this is the end result...

The Fruita peach wood added a nice sweetness to it. I'd be interested in adding a different chunk of wood to pair with the peach
