Iberico Pork Ribs: The Wagyu of Pork? | Mad Scientist BBQ

[@jtit2025]

Never smoke ribs, it will dry out waaaaaay too much, finish it off on the grill but cook in oven. I can tell from the bites they were taking it was dry.

[@MadScientistBBQ]

Sage advice. Had I only known, I wouldn’t have been messing them up for so long.

Jeremy, I know hospitality is a gift to be nurtured but I’d like to see a video that details how you would do a backyard bbq with family and friends.

Hello Jeremy, I just wanted to thank you I just made my best brisket on my backyard offset. 1)I followed yours and Mr. Chuds way of trimming the brisket 2) I smoked with apple wood chunks (I have a small smoker) 3) salt and pepper with a smidge of garlic granules 4) smoked for 12 hours, rested over night. BAM! BEST MEMORIAL DAY BRISKET EVER. For me anyways. 5) I even rendered some of the trimmings in the smoke chamber and then poured the rendered tallow over the brisket when I wrapped it. I just wanted to say thank you for your time and attention to the smoking craft. I enjoyed the journey AND I INTEND TO DO IT AGAIN. I have also followed your way if smoking a chicken but doing a turkey for Thanksgiving the last 2 years.

Hi, being a spaniard who has been eating Iberico his entire life, I find funny that we call Waigu, "the Iberico for beef" 😀😀😀

[@andrewknaff9220]

I just received my order from Porter Road ahead of the Memorial Day weekend. I used your discount link from the dino ribs video but they were sold out of the dino ribs. I got a beef brisket, pork brisket, volcano cut beef shank, 2 packs of pig wings, and a free pound of dry aged ground beef. Memorial Day weekend is going to be pretty epic this year!

[@MadScientistBBQ]

Nice! Just discovered pig wings. Love them

[@davis8720]

I watched that video 30 mins after Jeremy posted it, and went to the site to buy the ribs before the video was finished and they were sold out. Guess I've gotta be more on it.

[@dennismeyers2008]

Pig wings? Please do tell.

[@andrewknaff9220]

@@dennismeyers2008 Pig shanks, specifically the shin. Porter Road’s website shows what they look like. Smoking Joe’s BBQ YT channel shows them being cooked for a more in depth view.

[@jeffmathys9705]

I mean I have heard Pink Floyd's Pigs on the Wing but not Pig wings. Now I will only hear that song if I ever find them and cook them

[@samuelsheff1007]

Thanks for this clip! The ribs looked amazing! I asked about the 1975t in one of your last clips about doing a review of it. Thanks for addressing it! Can’t wait for the full review in the coming months!

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

Would love to try these. Nice 👍

[@jmf420]

Dank looking ribs. Really want to do some of those. Cool to see you cooking on a workhorse. I’ve had my 1969 for a month now and have absolutely loved it. They are just high quality pits in every way

[@rmbettac]

My word 12:51 is a masterpiece picture of ribs. My mouth was watering this whole video.

[@joestarke1357]

“It reminds me of something” “Ribs”. Hahahaha. I am craving some ribs now. Might have to pick some up for this weekend.

[@michaellamb2200]

You're the best man, love these videos. Can we get a video on smoking a leg of lamb?

[@josephvaughn3016]

Great video. I'm about to order some of these ribs from White Oak Pastures. Thanks for the 1975 smoker update....looking forward to the future videos.

[@davo912]

I don't see where they even sell St Louis and only show baby backs in a pack of 2..According to them the pack only weighs 3 pounds...too small

[@tsimms253]

Duuuude, I’ve been waiting for a workhorse pits video from you! Your videos are pushing me into the the stick burner world

[@ericaandjeremy]

Soooooo gooood. I had 8 leftover ribs for lunch today and just got super excited that there are a few more I can have tomorrow.

[@soumynonareverse7807]

Could you make more videos with the 2 of you? I love a couple reviewing food like this and I don't know this from any other channel. Love it. Wanna see you both more on cam

[@AyeDiosMio]

Great bbq as always, Jeremy looking jacked too my guy has been working out haha

[@erinb1951]

Thanks for all your videos I have learned so much from you. Any way you can do a video on smoking at altitude I would love to hear you take on it, because it is quite different.

[@Stanny936]

This video dropped while I actively have pork ribs on the smoker. Love it!

Pecan has always been my favorite wood to smoke with. Whether it be Beef, Lamb, or Poultry, pecan is wonderful.

Are you spraying with straight ACV or is it diluted with water?

[@W_T.F]

I wish you had thrown Berkshire rins in to the mix. I love Berkshire pork and it's affordable.

[@oscarpineda941]

We had some of these at work cause we cut out the bone from the pork we used and tossed the in cuban mojo they were just the best ever

[@bradleyputnam2014]

Awesome video man! I know we often like to see the cheap cuts because they are more convenient, however I would like to see you experiment with the more expensive meats. Maybe homemade panchetta next?

[@networkn]

Great Experiment, initially I had thought you were going to put sauce on all of them and I was concerned, but I see you did sauce and no sauce on both, so an excellent way to properly compare. Well done.

[@aalekhine5109]

Love this channel! Great vids!

[@quill1260]

Yoder Duder, you should have your wife on way more often. The chemistry is great, and she definitely adds a whole new entertaining element to your videos.

Been looking where I can get this here in the USA

[@robertmorrison4020]

couldn't find any spares but I managed to find some iberico baby backs! Cant wait for them to come in! Got them from Second City Prime Steak and Seafood in Illinois. Where did you find the spares?

[@brendan3081]

are you going to do a test cooking video on the new trager pellets line?

[@atx0025]

Iberico ribs sound like heaven. My favorite cut of any meat is Iberico Secreto.

[@chicobicalho5621]

Those piggies with black paws who munch on 'bellota nuts' are amazing. Curiously, the Portuguese, who know a thing or two about pork matters, have been producing top notch Patanegras lately, that actually rival the Spanish critters, and it costs a lot less; they are known as "Porco Preto" or "Porco Ibérico". I find it interesting that "dry aged meat" is such a hype now, and the Spaniards have been doing it for half a millenia with Jamon.

[@JoshandBabe]

Iberico ribs is something we have always wanted to try. We have always just been the Costco rib people. I’m jealous. This was a great video, a lot of attention to detail brother. Good job. The Landscapers always come when we film also, no matter what. Hahaha. Good job taste tester Erica 🎉🎉🎉

[@ericaandjeremy]

Haha thanks!!

[@williamvanshellenbeck8643]

Looking forward to the full Workhorse review!

[@FreshfrogmarketingUk]

Grill some Secreto Iberico. As someone who lives in Spain, it's gonna blow your mind.

[@duderoo1975]

Iberico is the just the best, the flavour is amazing, you don't need much just SP and enjoy the taste of the meat. It is rich, last time I had some Iberico spare ribs I added some smoked Iberico Tallow over them in the wrap... OMG..

[@billpacheco7673]

We get Berkshire pork ribs from WildFork Foods all the time. Very similar to the Iberico in fat content. 40 years ago, all the pork used to be that juicy. But the low fat craze of the 70s through today led pork producers to breed their pigs to be leaner and leaner. Unfortunately this led pork to be a more difficult meat to cook properly because it would dry out so easily. The heritage breeds (Iberico and Berkshire, and a few others) retain the old fat content and are almost goof proof because so much fat keeps them from drying out.

[@felipemata2960]

Great content as usual. I am curious to see how the brazos cooks against the more high dollar pits.

[@user-et3kk4tn4s]

Does anyone know of a place you can order iberico?

[@richgendron9999]

Great show 😎👍

[@EricMdy]

Where did you find those ribs at? They look amazing nice job 👍

Where can you buy a couple racks of Iberico ribs at? Even in Texas, I can't find anyone selling them. Where did you buy yours from?

Very interesting, I have yet to try Iberico. Berkshire is a step up, looking forward to trying these as well. As a new(er) Workhorse 1975 owner, it was interesting to hear your thoughts so far.

Hey brother, we've raised a couple mangalitsa pigs the last few years. I lived in Spain and know iberico pork... mangalitsas are even better. you gotta try it. They're truly the wagyu of pork.

Hey jeremy just wondering. if you’re going to do a comparison video of the workhorse 1975 vs the fatstack? really interested in buying one or the other. thanks

When will you be doing a review on the workhorse bbq pit? Edit: lol didn't wait long enough in the video

[@charliezicolillo]

Jeremy you should try the Char Griller GrandChamp XD.It is great.now i have to find were to get these ribs.

[@chicobicalho5621]

5:40 -"traditionally they are fed acorns and chestnuts" [...] 5:50 -"for barbecue nuts like me that means"... I tell you what it means, it means you should stay away from those patanegras when they are hungry! ; ⁰ )

[@rollandklontz]

There are several varieties of pork that are well worth the time such as, Jeju black pig from Korea and a few of the heritage breeds like Berkshire, Red Wattle, and Old Spot

[@tmalone893]

Can't wait to see the Workhorse pit comparison! I love my 1975t but would love to see what you think compared to the others in it's class. Where can you purchase these Iberico ribs?

[@streetsgamer42]

During the glaze, did you just rub the sauce on and continue cooking on the open foil?

[@Mitschi1203]

Hey jeremy..... Since you liked those iberico ribs, if you ever have a chance to get your hands onto any cut from a "mangalitza", i bet you would love it.... Its even more fatty than the iberico, it has exceptional marveling and the fat also melts at lower temps.... I have absolutely no idea of you have those even available in the states, but here in europe its the holy grail of pork..... 😉

[@Tweedters_Smokehouse]

Any recommendations for buying baby back ribs online?

[@donaldwilliamson1227]

So where can you find this kind of meat at?

[@leeeisenstein1830]

Another amazing video! Do you see any issues wrapping ribs with bacon grease? I am a little concerned with over salting. Was going to give that a try tomorrow. Thanks!

[@lufo5]

I cooked iberico ribs many times an in my honest opinion, smoked are good, but directly on the grill in Santa Maria style are the best. The fat on the coil give the best possible flavour to them and the fat caramlization due to direct heat is delicious. Give it a try. The particular taste of the meat is because that pigs eat a lot of acorns

[@joelt1002]

Just got back from the gym, watching this tasty food makes me slightly jealous in the moment but also content that my healthier choices will lead to better long term results like looking jacked, not having clogged arteries. Gotta love BBQ every once in awhile though!

[@duckkiller53]

WHY IS IT YOU NEVER TRY USING A "HORIZON" SMOKER? I have a Horizon 20" Marshal RD and I love it. These guys have been making smokers for years and really have it down. I would be curious what you think of a traditional Horizon smoker compared to all the new up and comers with their new designs? ie: Franklin, Work Horse etc.

[@js-qt6mc]

What kind of fillet knife do you use?

[@matthijsjoha6762]

Great experiment! But please try the Iberico ribs just salt, peper and garlic granulate for 1 hour and 45 min on 230 F or 110 C and it will blow your mind!

[@bar20bbq70]

So where did you happen to purchase said ribs?

[@nicksanchez6667]

Great video! After falling in love with Wagyu brisket I definitely want to try these ribs. Also I’m dying to see your comparison video of all the high end offset smokers cuz I’m going to buy one within the next year. Unrelated- I tried using your discount code on the Made-In carbon steel pan and it wouldn’t accept it because they were already on sale 😒 - I can’t stand it when companies do that.

Dang those Iberico ribs are insanely juicy looking! I’ve never heard of them before. Did you get them at Costco? Great comparison and just using S&P for seasoning. Nicely done Jeremy! (I’ve been using Made In cookware for about a year, the 5 ply, great cookware.) cheers brother! Enjoy Memorial Day!

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

Iberico isn't something you'll generally find in a place like Costco, they're a high end import from france so you'll usually find them at specialty butchers or boutique grocery stores that specialize in imports, unless you're ordering them online in which case the same rules still apply, you just need to know what you're looking for ahead of time a bit better. It's named for the Iberian Peninsula, which comprises the part of Spain that's on the peninsula, as well as continental Portugal. It's going to most commonly be found at delis as "Jamón Ibérico", which translates to Iberian Ham, and is generally raised on a diet of acorns rather than grain or other feedstocks, which gives the meat a unique and rich flavor. Jeremy was right to compare them to Wagyu as well, the fat composition is similarly altered and the pigs themselves are a unique breed which has more intramuscular fat much like Wagyu does.

You need a to try Mangalitsa pig ribs. Known for their high fat content and beautiful rendered lard. We have 2 sows a boar and a barrow.
