First Attempt at Beef Ribs

I used Aaron Franklin's method to smoke these plate ribs. Lousiana Hot Sauce as a binder and Salt and Pepper. Smoked with Post Oak chunks at 285 grid for 6 1/2 hours. Rested for one hour before serving.

Looks good from where I'm sitting. How did you like them?

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

The ribs were tender and the flavor similar to brisket. It was a good change of pace from pork ribs.

They look great. Are you sure they are plate ribs since they have 4 bones and plate ribs have 3. Chuck short ribs have 4 bones. They are both great, though, and cook about the same way. Plate ribs are much more expensive (about twice the cost of chuck short ribs) and, to me, not worth the extra cost.

dstearn said:Thanks, They were Short Plate Ribs which from what I have read have 4 bones. They were not cheap eithet, around $5.00 per lb.
The Chuck Short ribs are NAMP 130 and consists of ribs 2,3,4, and 5. These cost around $3.75/pound at restaurant depot.
Most markets charge around $7 per pound for the chuck short ribs. The chuck short ribs are usually a tougher cut of meat than plate ribs but when cooked on the egg they are low and slow they are about the same as plate ribs. Plare ribs have more fat (at least the ones I've seen) which may make them a little more tender.

Supermarket butchers confuse things as @cazzy said. The word "plate" should not be used when chuck short ribs are being discussed. Plate ribs are in the #130 group. The meat is different andf also much more expensive.
Restaurant Depot around here usually has both types so you have to be careful when purchasing since they look so similar.
My wife and I prefer the chuck short ribs (#123) due to price and lower fat content.

I agree with you and @cazzy that the supermarket (even specialty market) butchers confuse things with their local naming system. It has taken me several months to understand the rib cuts.
We shouldn't add to the confusion ... please consider adding the "A" to the 123 cut when you define it as a three bone cut. With out the "A" the cut is defined as anywhere from 2 to 5 rib bones.

Well, whatever they are they sure look good! I agree with others- looks like you nailed them.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
-
Opps, my bad ... yes, the ribs do look good.
Where do you live? I ask that question 'cuz you said you used post oak for smoke wood. Is post oak milder than our Midwestern oak ... stronger ... the same as?

@Shiff ... you've reversed your numbers ... Chuck short ribs are #130 and short ribs from the plate or rib primal are #123.

I also should have referred to plate ribs as 123A, 123B, or 123C since they are all specified as ribs 6,7, and 8.
