I will be cooking a 4.1 LB plate of Beef Short Ribs tomorrow. Grate temp will be 285. Does anyone know the app cook time per LB?

Don't think of it as "per pound" per se. The real variable is the thickness of the ribs.
Half a rack of pork ribs weighs half as much as a full rack but takes just as long to cook.
Good thick beef ribs will take a little longer than pork ribs. At 285, I'd guess about 5 +/- 1 hour.
Toothpick test to determine doneness.
@lousubcap, is expert on beef ribs and may have something to add.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

No expert here although I have cooked some. @Foghorn is in the ball-park, and they could run even longer. Just be patient and go with the toothpick test as mentioned for the win. Never have taken a rib cook finish temperature but it would likely be around the low 200's once they pass the tooth-pick test.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.

I think usually 6 hour ballpark for me in the 260-275 range, for ones I get at Sam's club, on the meaty side, but not restaurant meaty. I've found they are fine going longer as well, they don't fall apart like an overcooked brisket.

Thanks everyone, I have cooked them before, but since I am also cooking 2 slabs of spare ribs I wanted to make sure that placed the Beef Ribs on the grill in advance so that everything will be ready in time for dinner.
Based on that I will start the beef ribs about two hrs ahead of the spares to allow for cook/rest time. I figure the spares will take about 51/2 hrs at that temp. No wrap. -
@lousubcap, it looks like ill be attempting beef plate short ribs in the next few weeks sometime. The plate comes with four ribs per, and ill be making these for a guys night in
Question: is it better to leave all the ribs attached like you would for baby backs amd spares or do you cut them up for crust formation?
Iver seen franklin bbq do them where he left them intact but am wondering of there is any benefit to leaving ribs attached? -
@westernbbq I have always cooked them intact so I don't have any comparison. Sorry 'bout that.
BTW- make sure to remove the membrane before seasoning them for the cook.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. -
Not to be contrary, but individual beef plate ribs I've done have been done slightly faster that pork spare slabs. I suppose that I think they are acceptable quicker, IT around 190, because the meat on the whole is more tender than pork rib. I haven't made notes, but 5 .5 hours is at the top end of what I've done. I do suppose a whole 4 bone portion would go a little slower.

These are my favorite bbq item period!! Usually takes 5 1/2 to 7 hours. I find wrapping helps , when I don’t the top layer of meat gets “hard”. Couple
different cooks
