<p />Picked up a small package of beef ribs at Sam's this morning. Now what? I'm thinking 225-250 just like babybacks. The 3-1 1/2-45 minute method that I like. Mustard them up and get them spun real well and cook.
I'm also doing a slab of babybacks, it has been 10 days, so I would like to have both done at the same time.[p]Mike

    Car Wash Mike,[p]I'd go indirect all the way through, there's way too much fat to require foil, you want to render as much as you can. Those are some fine looking ribs man, enjoy. [p]Cheers,

    <p />Car Wash Mike,[p]I can usually get the slabs, but I prepare them similar to pork ribs: Peel the membrane, trim if needed, no-sugar rub, mustard, a little more rub. I have to go about 5 or 6 hours at 225* grate. I sometimes foil for 45 minutes (with some of the mop), then back on the grill to set them. After about 2 1/2 hours, I mop with apple juice & cider vinegar every hour. If anyone wants theirs sauced, I wait until the last 15 minutes of cook time, otherwise I serve 'em dry.[p]
    e6a9879c.jpg[p]This rub is a good place to start:
    Yum Yum Rub
    4 tablespoons non-iodized table salt
    2 tablespoons paprika
    1 tablespoon black pepper, coarsely ground
    1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
    1-1/2 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
    1-1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
    1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
    1/2 teaspoon turmeric[p]~thirdeye~

    Happy Trails

    Car Wash Mike,
    Mine were in for 5 hours including saucing. Then I kept them warm in foil and cooler for an hour or so. I would stop at 4.5 hours. I did a straight cook at 250, no wraping no turning.
    Did over a plate setter.
