Dino Bones...



Hey guys,
This is my first post on the egghead forum. Haven't felt quite worthy until I pulled these dino bones off the egg yesterday.
Spur of the moment last week I decided to go to the local butcher and pick up a quality rack of beef ribs for the weekend. I've usually just smoked the average back ribs you can get at the grocery store but those tend to shrink quite a bit and I wanted some real meaty bones.
I did a hybrid 3-2-1 method on these bad boys. Smoked at 250 degrees using pecan chunks for 3 hours. I took them off to put in an aluminum pan with a yuengling to braise on the egg for 2 hours. I then pulled them out of the pan and placed directly on the grate for an additional hour. For the last hour I cranked it up to about 315 degrees and sauced 30 minutes in with Buz and Ned's out of Richmond, VA.
These dino bones had great smoke and were extremely tender. Best ones I've ever made. I've done beef ribs before with straight smoke and maybe wrap for a couple hours but I find the beer braising really helps keep the beef tender.
Enjoy!

Also, need to give credit to @MeatChurch for the Holy Cow rub I used. Highly recommend it.

The idea of braising them on the Egg is a great idea especially as last time I did these they were still slightly tough and a little bitter from the smoke after 9 hours. Nice work
