Saucy Kansas City Style Pork Chops

Our TSM Kansas City BBQ Rub gives these pork chops smoky flavor without firing up an outdoor grill or smoker.

Smoked Turkey

Whether it's Thanksgiving or the middle of summer, smoked turkey is always a crowd pleaser. You can season a smoked turkey with any of your favorite BBQ rubs. Serve it with sides that also have a barbecue twist, like BBQ street corn, grilled green beans, jalapeno gravy, and fried pies.

Burnt Ends

Traditionally, the “burnt ends” of a brisket were cut off each end because they weren't considered suitable to serve as brisket. Instead, they were given out as samples while people were waiting in line to order at BBQ joints. These flavorful, chewy, tender, bark-encrusted pieces ended up being desirable and eventually made it onto barbecue menus. To yield a lot of burnt ends, simply trim the outer 1 inch or so of the entire brisket and cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Smoked Pork Ribs

We've smoked a lot of pork ribs in the Savory test kitchen, each time giving them a different regional barbecue flavor by using different BBQ rubs and sauces. We always use the 3-2-1 method for ribs (described below) whether preparing baby back ribs, spare ribs, or St. Louis cut ribs.

Smoked Pulled Pork

Pulled pork can be found on BBQ menus across the country. Each region treats their pulled pork with different spices and sauces. This recipe is a nod to the Kansas City style pulled pork and features our KC Style BBQ rub. To complete the KC experience, try it with our small batch Midwestern Sweet BBQ Sauce.
