    Cut Country Style Ribs

    What do u cut it from. Butt or Boneless Loin? Easier? Better? Cheaper? I tried these from the Butt. ( that didn't sound right). It was good. Bacon wrapped. Would loin break down and be like a butt? This was like bacon wrapped pulled pork. This is what I used and cook.

    I understand that and I do cook til around 195-200. At that point, they Shred easy.. I was going to borrow a buddy who has the one that attaches onto a drill... This will just shred if you keep it going..

    Pulled pork. Shredded or pulled.

    Its going to be one or the other, and I'm leaning towards shredded.

    Pulled pork. Shredded or pulled.

    Real fine shred or chunky pulled apart. This is for an catering event. Thinking shredded offers more accurate portion control. Thoughts?

    Oh I understand... Just a quick question, they would like us to do a people choice.. I make KILLER smoked beans with rib tips... I was thinking of those, but would they be too hot and melt those little 2 oz portion sample containers?

    I just got a copy of the menu *ppl prices last year* and I AM under the prices, but not THAT much.. I did get a good idea of what I can do.. I have really never done something like this to MAKE money... I will adjust and make a new menu and repost here as it is done.

    Competition / Vending event.

    So if u think 200% profit is necessary? So if an item cost $3, I need to sell for $9? My profit margin is 35%. I can make a pulled pork for 67¢ and I see for $2.50. That's not good?

    Competition / Vending event.

    Actually did a spreadsheet, and I was shocked at what I was charging and getting in a profit...on average, I was averaging about 35%... that is just PRODUCT, food ... Not silverware, plates, or other items... I will use the leftovers, all included... I figure if I don't sell all my meat, I...
