Thanks Toby now I know what treatment the next rack are getting.

Toby,

Do you get your beef ribs from Roberts? What do you ask or - flat rib?

Recently been getting flat ribs as they are much cheaper and still very meaty, they are in stock at Smithfield so any butcher will be able to order them. Roberts do get them for me if I can't be bothered to do the early start

Outside of smithfield, where else do you get them?

I suppose they want 48hrs notice at Roberts?

Finding these cuts of meat is a PITA

just order some and stick them in the freezer. 48 hours is about right.

Spoke to local butcher about "flat rib" and he wasn't sure which part of the animal I was on about. He offered Jacobs ladder - which should be fine, but flat-rib is supposed to be cheaper, and it looks meatier.

Is there some other name for it or some standardised code for him to order from Smithfield?

I found this:

Is flat rib basically flat of brisket with the rib still attached?

I've got 2 racks on the smoker now.
5-6 ribs per rack very happy with them. A mate got them from a butcher mate of his.
Tried to post photos on my laptop. It kept coming up with quota is full. Have tried with my phone but can't see them so not sure if it's worked or not

That is the brisket which attaches to this

The ribs shown are what is usually known as the flank, (aka flat ribs) if you look further up the rib section you find meat without bones (just the same as the belly of pork ribs) which is the part of the flank you mentioned before for your burritos.

I kept mine out of the foil for a 8 - 10 hour cook. [img]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/11/03/vyve3ebu.jpg[/img]
