Beef Rib Advice

Anyone have any suggestions on getting to beef rib perfection with the BGE? Ready to venture out from my pork rib paradise/safe place.

I like short ribs. More meat. I do them indirect at around 235/240 for about 5/6 hours to an 185/190 internal

I have tried several versions and I like Adam Perry Lang's technique from his book BBQ25.

I only smoke Beef Back Ribs. I don't care for Short Ribs since they are from the Chuck portion of the cow and are tougher. They are best cooked in liquid.

I smoke my ribs at about 250 degrees indirect for about 4 hours - a little longer if they don't seem tender enough. I don't use foil or BBQ sauce on them - I do serve it with sauce on the side for those that like it saucier.

the biggest trick is finding big beef ribs with meat still left on them, i pass on them for months looking everytime before i see a descent package. if you dont cook them long and slow enough they can be greasy but i cook them similat to spares

What a coincidence. I just started my large egg for beef ribs. I love them. It all starts with good quality ribs. You can buy them at the grocery store..not much meat..but if you can find a butcher shop that cuts them, you are in for a treat. :P I agree with fishless, good beef ribs are hard to find! :(

braise those shortribs, they are made for a braise, toss in some oxtail, anything else tough and boney, lamb shanks etc. fall off the bone tender

Thanks so much Steve. I appreciate the heads up. I see you are in Allen. If you are ever down here in the Univeristy park area, come on by and see us at BBQ Galore.

Any good butcher shops in the North Dallas area that you recommend? Thanks.

Yes, I recommend Davids Meats on Jupiter Rd. in Richardson and Hirshs' Specialty Meats at Parker and Alma in Plano. I prefer Hirshs. That's where I got these. The last he had. Notice the marbling.
