There seems to be many of us that are confused about what are beef plate ribs vs short ribs - back ribs, etc. I was among those confused souls. Here is a reference that finally straightened me out (as much as possible without professional help.) Maybe y'all will find it useful too.

Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

I was just looking for a link like that. I had seen one before, but my memory was a tad fuzzy. I was pretty certain that the chuck ribs were thinner and rounder, and the plate were broad and flat.

That's a good condensed version. If you're having trouble sleeping, you might peruse this website:

There's more info in that document on meat cuts than you'll probably ever want. Just don't go into your local meat market and expect the "butcher" to respond appropriately when you tell them the number of cut you want. The majority of them know the cuts by their retail name ... which varies by region.

@Jeepster47 - thanks for the link. I thought I had saved it when it first appeared around a year ago but couldn't find it. Saved again. Time will.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
