First time short ribs (pic heavy)

This is my first time cooking short ribs. I've been motivated by all the recent posts. It took a while to find a butcher that could get them for me - I had to travel 30 miles to a nearby town but what the heck, right? My wife got some Blue Bell ice cream too so it was worth the trip for groceries. 
I seasoned the ribs with Kosher salt and course black pepper. I have Rockwood lump and hickory chunks in the egg. I am also using the force...



Stay tuned for more...

    Looking great so far.  Don't know your dome temp but at around 250-260*F on the dome I have seen those ribs take as much as 7 hours to "probe like buttah".  And they beat their pork cousins every time.  Enjoy the eats.

    The temps are coming along nicely. I'm guessing these to take 5 1/2 or 6 hours - I've got time for 7 or more. Lots of shiner in the fridge. These smell amazing already. If they taste as good, they'll be a winner.

    This rack was close to five pounds. It looks like they'll be done in five hours. The egg thermometer is running 260-270 degrees.

    These are probing like buttah. I have them wrapped and in a holding pattern. Pinto beans are tender. I'll whip up some 'taters and grill some carrots in a while. Plated picks to come.

    The ribs were tender in 5 hours. I wrapped in foil and held in a warm oven for 2 1/2 hours without any ill effect. The wife loved the ribs and the potatoes.

    I love the meaty "brisket" flavor without the time involved (and amount of food) in a full brisket.

    SWMBO even commented how easy the sides were to prepare and how good they were. The carrots were glazed with a cranberry pear balsamic vinegar.

    Sliced on a cheap mandoline, brushed with clarified butter, S&P, and thyme. I stacked them in a cheap muffin pan. Baked about 50 minutes at 400 degrees.

    That is an over the top meal, beautiful job plating that.  How were the potatoes prepared.

    Peal a couple of large Idaho potatoes. Slice thinly with a knife or mandoline. Stack in a muffin tin. Place a few slices, season w/ S&P, a bit of thyme, and clarified butter. Repeat until the muffin tin is full to the top. I baked indirect on the egg at 400 degrees for about 50 minutes until they were tender in the middle. The bottom and edges crisped up nicely.
