Which type of short ribs are these - and how long do you think they'll take

The above sounds good-you can use a probe but definitely not needed-just go til they pass the tooth-pick test, probe with no resistance in the thick meat section.  Time-line should be close but they could run up to around 7 hours-"trust the feel."  Sides-anything you would go with beef on a stick-don't complicate it.  FWIW-

Thanks for that - looking forward to cooking them tomorrow.  Will get them on 7 hours before and can always rest them for longer if finished before

Yep, anything you would normally eat with beef.  

Beans, Mashed Potatoes, Fries ect.

Heh. In the US, those are "English Style" when cut parallel to the bone. The cross-cut thin ones are "flanken style".

Thanks - that's interesting.  English style - I like it!  But I hope I manage to get a US smoked taste when I cook them!

I like a simple chimichurri with rich meats like those beauties. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/06/sauced-chimichurri-sauce-recipe.html

Now that chimichurri looks really classic - very simple combinations.  I'm going to give that a go - thanks!
