The Trinity
Amongst barbecue aficionados there is a “trinity” of barbecued meats that every pit master should be proficient at cooking. These are beef brisket, pork shoulder, and pork ribs.
Different regions of the United States are known for their mastery of these cuts. For instance, Texas is well-known as the capital of beef brisket. The Carolinas are considered the hotbed of smoked pork shoulders. And the cities of Kansas City, St. Louis, and Memphis are known for their pork ribs.
We’ve mastered each of these cuts of meat and have prepared resources to assist you in doing the same.
