First try at Beef back ribs

in Beef
i love beef ribs, but for some reason I'd never done a rack on the egg. No more. I found these two racks for a steal at my local market. I decided to prep them just like pork ribs, so I pulled the membrain and hit them with some dizzy pig Cow Lick (I went with one rack just rub and the second rub, mustard, more rub to see which I like better for beef ribs). They're on the egg at 250 over some applewood chunks. This should be interesting, but I've found that sometimes winging it produces the best meals.

    A quick question for the more knowledgable beef rib folks around here ( @SGH some help would be appreciated brother). Can I tell the ribs are done by using the bend test like pork ribs, or is there another way to tell these beef ribs are finished?

    Probe them with a toothpick. There done when there is no resistance at all. It doesn't have to be a toothpick, you can use your Thermapen or whatever else you have handy to probe with.

    Sorry for the slow reply. The Internet on this ship is sketchy at best.

    Indeed I do. However you may just be in luck. I'm not totally sold on this one yet, a change back to Bill the Cat may happen sooner rather than later. 

    I don't even remember now what your old avatar was now, but I do remember the change sent the forum into a tizzy.

    For the longest time I had the one that they give you if you don't select one yourself. If memory serves, the avatar that I have now was the first one that I selected and used 99 percent of the time. A few times I have used brother Flair for a while.

    I think you went through an afro phase for a while.  As I recall, that didn't land so well.
    Love you bro!

    I could eat at your house and be very happy. They look great. I am betting that you will cook them again.

    You can be sure of it. Even though I missed mark a bit on these I still polished off a rack and a half. Plus now that I know how good they are even when I undertook them, I need to see what they taste like when they're perfect  ;)

    Love beef ribs over anything. Yours looks mighty good. I cook mine like yours only I cook at 350. I do use the bend test but if I have cut the rack in half for some reason I do like SGH.

    Looks good from here.  I too love beef ribs.  I've found that I like simple salt and pepper as the best rub for beef ribs.

    Looks great, sorry you feel they "missed the mark".   I have only seared then braised beef short ribs in a dutch oven on the egg . . dying to try this.

    Great cook and I have had success relying on the toothpick for "doneness".  I like to run nekked for the entire cook as well but sometimes have to resort to foiling to speed them along.  Beats their pork rib cousins for sure.
