    I'm guessing you are looking at 2-3 hours max at 250 going direct.

    Thanks man, just edited for indirect.

    I'm just assuming these wont need as long as the pork. Gonna give the pork ribs 5ish hours. So maybe put these on after an hour or so

    I did a 3-2-1 on some beef ribs last week at around 275 and they turned out great.. at 3 hours, though, I was glad to be wrapping them because they needed it.. not sure how long you'd need to go straight at 250 with no wrap

    I cook beef back ribs in the 275-300 range for about 3 1/2 hrs (no foil, spritz, or sauce). Cooking the same way but at 250 I'd guesstimate close to 4 1/2 hrs.

    Somehow, this eludes me. I have spent $ and time and am yet to make at least edible plate of beef ribs. I have tried and tried. The thought of a beautiful rack of beef ribs sends me into a state of euphoria, but am just not able to get there.

    I can do BB ribs but not this.

    :(

    Try this, I've been doing this way for awhile now and they always turn out good. You'll be cooking at 325 indirect. The overall time is 3 1/4 hours. 1-1/4 hours bone side down, 1-1/4 hours foiled, rest 15 minutes in the foil, remove from foil, sauce and back on for 1/2 hour.

    This is a tough one...I searched the interwebs and find lots of different answers.  Some sites say 3 hours low n slow, some say 5-6.  I think your plan of 4 hours sounds good- that's what I would do. If it looks like they are not gonna be ready you can always foil them to speed them along and help them catch up to the pork ribs. 



    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Totally depends on how much meat. I've had racks take about 3 hours some closer to 5. On average I usually ink mine take 4 to 4.5 hours. Definitely look for major pull back.

    I used that dino bones recipe from "nibble me this" a couple of weeks ago and they were great. Best ribs I have ever made. Prior to this my beef ribs were good but not great. I used the same recipe for beef short ribs last week and they also came out perfect.

    I always try to pull membrane on any ribs I cook (either species). Good luck, let us know how it goes. So far I've had better success with pork...

    Thanks @black_badger
    I figured at 8$ a rack it was worth a try

    These were killer. A 4 hour cook at 250 grate. Black pepper, sea salt, cayene, garlic. Wrapped in foil with butter for the last hour. Absolutely amazing. I need to get by Kroger while they are still on sale and buy a few to freeze.

    Four hours is about what I plan for ribs of all kinds.  Would love to see pics.

    The pull back is very impressive with the big bone. I always get rushed with company when the food is coming off and to the table and got zero pics of the beef ribs #-o
