      I was impressed by how well the skillet helped to braise the ribs while they picked up that wonderful smoky aroma. The meat stayed incredibly juicy and the pecan wood added a subtle sweetness that you just cannot get with other types of wood. It is a foolproof way to get perfectly cooked short ribs every single time.

      The flavor from the pecan wood smoke combined with the constant heat of the cast iron skillet made these short ribs incredible. They were fall off the bone tender and had a deep, rich bark on the outside that was packed with flavor. It is a fantastic recipe for anyone who wants a gourmet smoked meal right in their own backyard.
