Beef Rib Experiment...finished!

I should'a got hazard pay for cooking these today!

Had a serious storm blow in off the Gulf! Sideways rain..."Big time" Thunder and to the ground lightening,locally high winds...really freaky!!

Between getting soaked playing "Vent Jockey" as the wind and rain played havoc with my steady temps..I finally finished them at about 4.5 hours.

Tried kind of a novel set up using Tom's new Oval Pizza stone, ceramic (feet) spacers and a turkey Pan...(al'a Old School CWM)!
In spite of everything weather related, it seemed to work well! Oval Stone...sweeet!!

Here's a few shots prior to yanking them.

They probably could'a gone another 30-45 minutes as they still were a bit fatty in places, though I hear it sort of comes with the territory!
I was afraid of drying them out, but turns out....that wasn't a problem at all!

    What would a Man be without his "Friends"? :unsure:

    I pulled these after about 4.5 hours...(but if you look at thet last pic)they were still not quite there I'm thinking!
    Tender and juicy...yes,but that small vein of fat right at the center of the bone,I'm guessing it woulda been gone if I let'em go just a bit longer?

    What do you think?

    so you have a oval stone?? maybe that is what i am missing.....


    why????


    i mean there are thousands of ways to cook on a egg. i do not have a "oval" stone...


    where did you get it?

    is it better than the round stone i have from BGE?

    what makes it better?

    and do you have a better picture of it?

    happy eggin

    I've never cooked beef ribs before, and have no idea if more time would help you or not. Remember...

    Chubby....Re last post....Beef ribs have been a tough one to master...no punn intended. We have tried them several times, and many times they just needed a ski boot attached to the bone. :laugh: This was the first time I saw them packaged like you picked up...trimmed up like racks of St Louis. They were cheap, so I picked up a couple racks. We were pleased, but I marinated them in a very acidic marinade for 24 hours.
    Onto your question....There seems to be a SUPER fine thread between good (dry method) low n slow beef ribs, and aweful low n slow beef ribs. A bit too long, and you are screwed. A bit too short, and you are screwed. I don't think you would have got much better results if you had let them go much longer. They really did look good!
    I have resolved myself to the more Asian style...which is hot an fast, and med rare. Sounds nuts...and yeah, it is certainly not falling off the bone by ANY means...but it truly allows the rich beef flavor to come through. IMO, a lot of that gets lost in a low n slow. The more we try them, I think beef ribs were meant for braising, or hot n fast. JMHO. Remember...You asked!! :laugh: :whistle:

    They look great.
    I do em often. Usually on for 6 or 7 hours at 250-275 indirect. I'm lucky the Ralphs market near me actually carries thick cut choice beef ribs. Lot's of meat on the tops. Soooo good, a bit fatty and rich, but good eatin'.

    Man Chub those look spot on!!A nice mess of them at 5:00am Sunday morning would hit the spot! Would love to have some of that rain hear. Got over 2 inches a mile away and not a drop on the farm. Less than 2 1/2 inches since first of May! :pinch:

    Dats Bootiful.

    Beef ribs have been up and down for me - good results and not so good results. Difficult to figure out. Maybe it's the difference between a nice cow and a not so nice cow. :blink:

    Chubby, ain't it good to be back?

    I knew that "neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night" would keep you from your appointed task of making those succulent beef ribs! Well done, my friend. :)

    I think the rain stayed on your side of town, at least the heavy stuff. Ribs look great, I can't seem to find them with much meat on the bone. They always seem to look well trimmed.
