Mothers Day Cook - Beef Short Ribs
DISCLAIMER: This was my first 'low and slow' cook on the BGE.
I used a dry rub I got from a friend to prep the meat. Filled my XL BGE with lump charcoal (up to the top of the fire ring). Started the fire using a single fire starter square. Put the ConvEGGtor in-place and carefully centered a drip tray on top of it.
NOTE: I used four stacks of 5x pennies each to create an air gap between the ConvEGGtor and the drip tray.
I put the grate in-place and closed the lid. If I'm being completely honest, the DigiQ DX2 (from BBQ Guru) did all the hard work from this point forward.
This is what the slabs looked like after 5 hours at 250 degrees (bone side down).
This is what the slabs looked like during the 90-minute foil-wrapped session (meat side down)... Good looking foil wrap, right!?! I applied a sauce to the slabs prior to wrapping them.
I finished the slabs with a 60-minute session on the grill (bone side down) at 275 degrees.
And this is the final product... Literally, fall-off-the-bone tenderness!
Ribs were a huge hit with my wife and mother-in-law... And I'm a bonafide Egghead now!

Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

Nice job on the short ribs. Cooking several this weekend. An option to the pennies I've used for years. Go get some 1/2" copper T's from Home Dept and use them between the drip pan and plate setter. Mine sit at the bottom of my BBQ tool bin for my low and slow cooks and are "well seasoned".
Those look fantastic.
