If you are talking about beef back ribs (cut off the ribeye), I like to do them this way:

If you are talking about short ribs, I like to do a smoke then braise with them.  I follow this recipe of Chris Lilly's for that:  http://www.grilling.com/food/recipe/544/

No way, I must try these.  I am all pig ribbed out for now, need to expand the menu.

Thanks Nibble, I would say cut off the ribeye.  I was in Wall Mart and they had them, so I figured why not.

i cook them standing on end and flip during the cook, most of the cook done standing in my rib rack. 235 inderect and i add a little white sugar to the rub im using, just a dusting. the beef gets eaten before the babybacks here

IrishDevl

Thanks fish, is the cook about the same amount of time as the baby backs?

i put the bb on an hour or so after, the beef took longer

Beef back ribs aka "dino bones" are wonderful. The best ones are not left over from cutting away boneless rib-eye steaks. One place I buy them cuts them so that they are pretty much a steak on a bone. Another place offers them after almost all the meat has been cut away. There is a big price difference. The less meaty ones I cook lo-n-slo, about 5 hours. That renders out fat, and leaves an almost crispy meat. The meatier ones I cook between 300 & 350 till the meat draws back (see above.) The meat pictured was just short of medium-well, tender, and very succulent.

I've managed to find some pretty meaty ones:

I like to cook them indirect in the 280-300 range for 3 to 3 1/2 hrs.  They're really tasty.

Google Thor's Beef Ribs.  I made some terrible beef ribs until this recipe.  It's a combo grill and bake but you can adjust to go all egg if you want.

They look good.  Khristy - I will take a look at Thor's recipe.  Thanks.  Cooking them tonight I think.
