Beef rib help

Picked up a rack of beef ribs from my butcher. They are not plate ribs, the tack is pretty similar in size to a slab of baby backs, just thicker. He called them the equivalent of spare ribs. Any thoughts on what you would call them and cooking them? I searched posts and found plenty on plate ribs...

A pic would help but given your description it sounds like beef back ribs that he removed for someone who wanted a boneless roast for the holidays. Any beef rib rack I have cooked (and currently partial to the back ribs) I run around 250-260*F on the calibrated dome and go til they pass the tooth-pick test. Depending on thickness could be 4-5+ hours. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

@EggMcMic - good call as I have a 7 bone beef back rack in the queue for the game along with pork ribs. The early risers will enjoy the beef ribs which I find beat their pork cousins every time.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

I agree with @lousubcap. Sounds like back ribs to me. I like to cook them just like baby backs or spares. I'm in the 3/1/.5 camp.XLBGE, LBGE, MBGE, SMALL, MINI, 2 Kubs, Fire Magic Gasser

Assuming back ribs.........Lou (Frank) is your main man when it comes to ribs.....so my post in no way contradicts his method. Myself I have a slightly different approach. I generally cook the ribs till they draw up to a point where you have an inch of bone showing. I pull, rest and cut them into individual ribs. From there I like to sauce and put back on for a while till you get some nice caramelization of the sauce. We probably aren't talking a difference in time......but with some added steps. Sorry i am a sauce guy....but they are equally great without.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

For beef ribs, I like to season with S&P only (and lightly with the S). Indirect at 270 till they prob with no resistance. Usually about 6 hours + or -.Memphis, TN

@northGAcock - I gotta admit that I will do whatever on the prep end but once I offer the sacrifice to the BGE, I am pretty much hands-off. That said, I am in the minimalist approach.
@EggMcMic As with all cooks here, there are many ways to get to the promised land. Pick one and go-remember (if you can or care to-adult beverage impact) how it turned out and then change up one variable at a time for the next experiment. Above all, have fun!

I like oak smoke on my beef ribs and briskets. They are plenty good with hickory or pecan, but I really like the bite that the oak brings to the table. The beef holds up well. If you cannot find oak chunks, I suggest buying a bag of oak pellets if available. Toss a handful of pellets in there and away you go. Enjoy.
