    Nice! I love beef ribs.

    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...

    Post finish picks. Q: do you ever wrap beef ribs like the 2 1 3 method?

    I do not wrap my beef ribs.  5.5 hours later and it's magical.  SWMBO stated that she likes beef ribs better than pork.  One of my favorite cooks on the egg.

    I've done beef ribs twice at 225f and both times they've stalled for hours - total cook time being about 12hrs. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I foiled them the second time, which got through the stall initially, but then the internal temp started to drop again back to stall levels. Maddening. This was when I'd just started egging so perhaps my skills weren't so good back then.

    Great result-brisket on a stick and yes they beat their pork cousins every time.

    What beef rib temperature usually correlates with "it's done" ?

    @TheToast, it sounds like you had some really good, thick ribs. 12 hours at 225 seems awfully long, so you may want to check your thermometer.  I've heard of them taking 8 hours at that temp.  I can usually get them done in about 5 hours at 275 or about 6 at 250.

    @Sweet100s, the beef rib is like brisket - it is done when it probes like "buttah" - which is somewhere north of 180.

    @Sweet100s, just like @Foghorn said, I don't run a thermometer in my meat at all for this cook.  I check at 4 hours, then every 30 minutes until done.

    @Foghorn You may be right - perhaps they were just obscenely thick! I use a Maverick for constantly temp check and have a pen thermometer too so the readings were accurate - it just took a really long time to cook.
