Cured and Hickory Smoked Rib Tips

[Bob Correll]

It's been awhile since I've made these.
Spare rib trimmings cured with Tender Quick for 24 hours, soaked/rinsed/dried, and in the fridge for a few hours to form a pellicle.

Smoked for a few hours, hood around 200°

Some went into a can of bean soup.

Great for snacking on too!
The taste, to me, is somewhere between bacon and ham.
I've enjoyed your visit!

What a great way to jazz up a can of soup.

So, I take it you're now ready to head to the ballpark and get some of those cured ribs?

Great idea on how to use the trimmings, Bob! My wife will be thrilled if I use it to empty the freezer of the couple of bags of trimmings that are in there waiting for just such an idea!

Great idea Bob, although a little disappointed I thought maybe we would see a new version of a McBob

Man, I enjoyed the visit too. Kind of ironic, I was thinking about doing some spares one day soon. I probably would have sealed up the trimmings and threw them in the freezer, never to be seen again. Might give this a try. Looks fantastic Bob.

Thanks guys!

Cliff,
Just put some rub on the trims too and cook them along with the ribs, some will get done before the slab does, (cook's snack) the larger ones may take a little longer.
Some que joints around here offer them on the menu.

That's a really cool idea. I'm going to give this a try sometime.

I know that was way better than the new food truck. Great looking meal Bob!

I have some in the freezer that are going to get a cure after reading your post. Usually put them in the Instant Pot to make pulled pork, but this method looks like way more fun!!

This is what I do

Thanks guys!
