Beautiful morning in Georgia to start smoking 10 lbs of short ribs and a couple of racks of spare ribs. The short ribs (3 bones) are trimmed with just olive oil, salt, black and red pepper.

    Looking good brother. Standing by for the finale. 

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Status- Standing by.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Great score.  A real banquet awaits. BTW- given you have a side-by-side going, at the close of the feast let us know your favorite meat rib contributor (edit: cow or pig).  No pressure :)

    Well here's the verdict. The short ribs were as tender as butter - but a little to fatty for my preference. The spare ribs came out perfectly - 6 hrs at 240 degrees naked. Works every time for me. I'm dropping the short ribs experiment and going back to plate ribs - I enjoy those much more - and they're a lot less expensive.

    Those look like Plate Ribs (3 bones) rather than Chuck Short Ribs (4 bones).  I have found that the Plate Ribs I get at Restaurant Depot cost twice as much as Chuck Short Ribs and are much fattier.  I prefer the Chuck Short Ribs.

    Bought these as "short ribs" - the butcher didn't saw the bones but left the intact. Its hard to get size perspective from the picture - this would normally be four racks of short ribs.
