I finally found a butcher. I got a 13.86 lb brisket Friday and after plenty of salt and pepper and 14 hrs at 270F.....DELICIOUS / perfect brisket !!!!!

You guys have created a monster !!!!!

Now I need more advice. I want to egg some Dino Beef ribs and I need to know how to ask my new butcher for them. In my search I think I want ribs closest to the front rib roast ????  Also do I ask for 8 or 10" or how do I specify what I want ???

Thanks in advance,

Donnie

    @austinegghead knows. She told me at Salado but I've plumb forgot. Something like whole chuck ribs, full meat.

    for the dino ribs like they serve at franklins you want chuck plate ribs.  It should be 4 bones if I remember right.  not beef back ribs.

    Here ya go.

    Basically, there are beef chuck ribs (4 bones) and plate short ribs (3 bones). Either will work great, but if they have both, get the plate short ribs. The fat is much more consistent across the cut.
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    That brisket looks amazing. Can you share how you did that?

    @dlstern>>>>rubbed w/ mustard, course salt and black pepper. Wrapped in saran wrap in refridge until the next afternoon ( about 20 hrs). Egged indirect for 14 hrs at 270 dome. I used my Maverick and had it set for 190 IT. it woke me up, the brisket probed like butta. I FTCed it in a hot/cold bag while I went back to sleep. Used some of that good ole Rockwood lump and about 5 chunks of hickory.
