  • In this video, we'll explore how to smoke ribs experiment using the ol Texas Crutch. This involves wrapping the smoked meat to reduce cook times. Although the traditional method involves wrapping with aluminum foil, we will test the results of wrapping with foil vs peach butcher paper. So follow us as we search for new ways to turn up the tasty!

    If you don't have any rubs to use at your house, this rounds on us. We have a free recipe for our Flavor Bomb Pork Rub on our website at redmeatlover.com/recipe/pork-seasoning-flavor-bomb-pork-rub/

    The biggest question is, to drink beer while smoking, or not to drink beer? There’s no wrong way, but I definitely prefer to drink beer.

    When I'm smoking, the point of the paper over the foil is to preserve the bark while tenderizing the meat. Allowing the meat to breathe a bit instead of allowing the bark to get destroyed by the steam that has nowhere to go in foil. I don't put anything inside the paper or foil and that might make the difference, as my bark is well preserved and not removed by the extra ingredients. I like the experimenting, but think you might see different results when adding fewer variables. Enjoyed it and keep smokin' 🤘

    Wrap or no wrap, apple or orange juice, apple or peach wood, lots of opinions out there. The only thing I think everyone can agree on is that ribs should be cooked in a smoker. Excellent video as always. Keep up the good work.

    Crutching is only beneficial to large cuts of protein such as brisket, shoulder, clod...etc. It's only used insulate meat further to push it past the stall. Ribs only take a max of 5hrs to cook and don't need crutching...if you do your basically steaming the ribs... which in that case you might as well run down to Applebees and grab you a rack lol. You wouldn't crutch red snapper... it's too delicate like ribs. This is just a majority perspective from a competitive bbq circuit Texan team. Your Channel is great and we do enjoy watching... keep up the good work and have a safe 4th!

      Never had that problem. They only come out mushy depending on how long and what temperature. 275 for 2-2.5 hours. Wrapped 1-1.5 then unwrapped for a little bit. Bite off the bone every time for me

    I use mustard as well.... it cooks off and you never taste it.... but it sticks the rub well, and the vinegar in the mustard can help smoke get in the meat and tenderize a bit. I also spray baste with a mix of cranberry, OJ juice, touch of lemon and a bit of rum.

    One more thing to take into consideration are the material properties. Aluminum will conduct heat more efficiently where as paper is more like an insulator and not transfer the heat into what you're cooking as easily. Thus I've found stuff in aluminum reaches finish temps faster than in paper. Then to add to that you have a solid barrier as opposed one that breaths. You steam your meat more with aluminum, where as that steam is able to escape more easily from the paper. Do both work well? Yes, of course they do. In the end it really comes down to your preferred texture at a particular time and temperature. Even then, it's slight at best.

    I didn't hear it mentioned but if aluminum has a dull side you want that out so it absorbs heat rather than reflect it if the shiny side was out.

    Hey Joey. Thanks for the side by side and your comments about the "absolutes" (or lack thereof) of bbq. As a "process" guy I usually try hard to follow the rules. A lot of freedom in you encouragement not to get wrapped around the axel on that stuff.

  • @billpowell5897
    @billpowell5897 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The biggest thing is.. foil will let aluminum leach into your food, thats not good for you. So try and eliminate aluminum altogether for any kind of cooking.

    The only issue I have with foil is the health hazards associated with leaching metallic compounds when heated to a high temperature. When ingesting food cooked in foil the metal can build up in the blood, muscles and organs. So if both paper and foil yield pretty similar results id go for the more natural and less harmful paper.

    Butcher paper is a lot better for you than aluminum foil (tinfoil)…
    Aluminum foil isn’t great to cook/smoke w/, it seeps into the food. Where you will be eating aluminum foil if tested.
