Huge beef ribs

Phatchris

3 ribs... 6 lbs... Rubbed with worcestshire, dizzy dust and some Toronto steak seasoning... Going with 250 indirect with RW lump and jack daniels chips( all out of chunks, need a firecraft order asap) until around 200 IT or whenever the probe slides like buttah.

That looks good already. Are those Chuck ribs?

Phatchris

Grass fed short ribs....which I believe are chuck?

Phatchris

I just ask for them uncut, I did them a few weeks ago by accident and they were awesome, went to get short ribs and the butchers saw was broken...

Dobie

Following this one, they look great. Wish I could find some here with meat on them.

Easy way to tell:

3 bones = Plate short ribs

4 bones = Beef chuck ribs

I just asked for short ribs uncut, they came as three ribs and weighed 6 lbs. they are grass fed and $6.99lb

Shiff

They look like Plate ribs (3 bones) and at $6.99/lb that was a good price.  Chuck Short ribs have 4 ribs and usually go for $3.59/lb or so (these are restaurant depot prices).

It's great that you got them uncut - most butchers cut them automatically.

You can cook Chuck Short ribs the same way.

I cook mine about 4 hours depending on tenderness - yours are a little meatier than the oines I last cooked so it might be closer to 5 hours.

Very good eats.  Enjoy

I did them a few weeks ago, but the butcher cut them as long single bones, took about 7 hrs.

The Cen-Tex Smoker

I haven't dug in that deep so I could be wrong here but Ive never seen anywhere that the 3-bone vs 4-bone denotes plate or chuck "short ribs". These are all short ribs that come from the short plate (the fact that they sometimes cut them short has nothing to do with the name). The short plate has the meat on top of the ribs where the back ribs (think ribeyes) has the meat in between. There may be a chuck section but they are all plate ribs from the short plate (hence the name short ribs).

This has proven true from everything I've bought locally and purchased in Austin, Taylor and Lockhart.

I agree that the referenced article is true from what I have seen at Restaurant Depot and read oin the IMPS meat definitions.  The Plate Short Rib and the Chuck Short Rib are from different parts of  the cow and the meat is slightly different and definitely the Plate RIbs are more costly.

They do both taste great and I prefer the Chuck Short RIbs due to usually having less fat and being half the price.

That looks freakin awesome. What was the final cook time? Internal temp?

Thanks for sharing.

I do believe that the saying around the playground is along the lines of "Beef ribs over pork ribs any day!"  Great cook whatever their pedigree.   YMMV-

About 7hrs 15 mins, internal was 190-200... Could've even went a bit longer... These ribs were a bit fattier than the previous ones I did. Not sure if cutting them into long single bones helped render the fat on the previous cook.., still very very good.

BAM!!!! Looks AWESOME. I love BEEF ribs. Thanks for the idea.

DocWonmug
