What makes it the best? Jocko's and red oak. Now, Jocko's steaks are the best in the world, but, my ribs are better than Jocko's. Which makes them the best ribs in the world, Jocko's being second best.

I barbecue on an 80 year old brick barbecue built by my Grandfather, and I burn, red oak.

What does Peter Lugers burn to make their steaks? Gas?

Anyone who barbecues on gas ain't going to heaven.

Pork ribs (spare ribs) no sauce, beef ribs, not done. Sauce hides flavor and is only for those who need their sugar rush. No sauce on no meat no time no way.

Me, a strip steak kind of guy... Cowboy cut with the bone in and about 3 inches thick... Real simple, not much in the way of seasoning on it.. A bone in Rib eye is my #2..
Ribeye is called a Spencer around here. salt pepper and garlic, although I use a secret seasoning sold out of the trunk of a car on the dark of the moon.

No red oak in California correct?

So I should bring a semi load or two with me??

Don't want CD folks peeling up my quartersawn red oak flooring too cook on....lol....

I heat mostly with red oak, cook on the coals too... Good stuff..

Nothing like a good brick BBQ set up... Might as well through those charcoal briquettes in the same category as gas. Yep, to cook on real wood is the only way to go.... Especially when you have mountains of scrap laying around all the time.....

Yep 100% with you on the CAFO stuff.... Though done right at a fine steak house.... I will not refuse it!!!

Grass fed, finished on barley is quite tasty... While, 100% grass fed (Only thing we eat at home) is not so good for steaks, but is wonderful thin sliced and flash fried in a smoking hot pan... Drop it in 15 sec, stir it once and get it out.....

Short and fast or long and slow on the 100% grass fed stuff.... flavor can not be beat though...

My father and his fellow Santa Maria barbecuers developed the Tri Tip, in Santa Maria, of course, the very heart of barbecue. No sauce, no meat, no time no way

Quercus agrifolia, the Coast Live Oak, is an evergreen oak (highly variable and often shrubby), native to the California Floristic Province. It grows west of the Sierra Nevada from Mendocino County, California, south to northern Baja California in Mexico. It is classified in the red oak section (Quercus sect. Lobatae).

Santa Maria style barbecue is the foundation of Jockos, and all the other mentioned local barbecue places, including our ranch, and all local ranches.
