Cholesterol and my new smoker

[Crabman]

Well this is interesting. My usual cholesterol is a total of 120 with a high HDL. My normal diet was chicken, fish, pork tenderloins and pasta with tomato sauce. My cardiologist insists l get my cholesterol tested at his office every three months after a quadruple bypass in 2018. Since 2018, it's never been over 130 and most of the time 120 or less. After purchasing my new smoker last month and experimenting with ribs and other fatty meats along with finding a great place for kielbasa, I'm now at 150 with a high LDL. Am I freaking out or surprised, no, but my doctor told me to lay off the fatty meats every weekend and leftovers during the week. Bummer. Anybody notice a bump in their cholesterol with their ribs dinners?

Why not?

I love them. Just not something I've tried cooking yet. Will defiantly get them on the smoker soon though!

Definitely not a toss them on and take them off when done meat. Lots of hands on but I found it enjoyable and they are so delicious.

This was a very helpful video with some good suggestions.


She only weighed 130 and then she bought a smoker.

I cut each rib individually, stock pot, cover with water 2 inches, boil 5-10 minutes, let stand overnight, drain, smutther with BBQ sauce, crisp up on a hot wood fire grill... cell...

Everyone is different. My body is much more sensitive to sugar and starch. Pizza, focaccia and pasta are much worse for me than a steak. The barbecue sauce affects me more than the ribs themselves.

The Diva can BBQ! I made them last night. They were in the slow cooker for five hours and then spent 10 minutes under the broiler!

I'm guessing it messed with my bp, but With all the meds I’m on, I doubt they have much of an effect

Boatman, that’s interesting: yes my method is boiling for 5-10 minutes, let standing overnight, not simmering for hours, pot is still warm in morning from the heavy bottom pot…

yes, Eastern European I’m not, Eastern Seaboard USA I am… and since I haven’t a backyard to roast ribs for 12 hours, i haven’t any choice…

some say Pork is not the most flavorful meat, try pork chops without seasoning compared to beef…

my friend with all honesty says , couldn’t be better… meat not mushy, soft yes, off the bone good…

easy peasy…. cellfish…
