First time doing beef ribs on the BGE

Don't know why, but I've never cooked beef ribs on the Egg before. But when I saw a mention a couple of weeks ago about a sale from Creekstone Farms, I went ahead and ordered some.  Beautiful looking ribs!

Rubbed with mainly SPOG, with some Bovine Bold mixed in. Took about 6 hours at 250°F, then wrapped in butcher paper and rested in the cooler for about half an hour. Just fantastic! Melt-in-your-mouth tender and full of flavor. Looking forward to doing this again.

    Great cook right there.  Brisket on a stick.  Congrats. Nailed it.  
    And yes, beef ribs beat their pork cousins every time.

    Actually, I had one question. Removing the membrane from the back of the ribs was a lot harder than with pork ribs. Any tricks I should know about that?

    Regarding the membrane - I have not found much difference in the removal process regardless of beef or pork.  In most cases I find it easier to get the beef membrane going.  FWIW-

    Great job!  My favorite cook, I think. Re: membrane - sometimes easy, sometimes not.  My most recent was not.  Had to get it started with a knife then grabbed with paper towel - took multiple efforts.  The previous came off in one easy sheet.

    I"m guessing it won't be your last time doing them.

    That's what I was going to say.  But not in Foghorn's quote box, but vanilla.

    Nice. For some reason you don't see these around here much. I did one for the first time a few months ago. I need to get another.

    I picked up 3 packages of these during the sale. I never removed the membrane until these. I think it was much easier than pork. I'm looking forward to cooking these in time.

    Beautiful! Creekstone is one of the two beef suppliers I use, and have had good luck with the short ribs. Hoping the pack I got from he recent sale is the same!

    I removed the membrane once and for all other cooks haven't. I've honestly not noticed much of a difference. You'd get more rub and smoke on the meat if you remove it, but I haven't noticed it harms the eating experience one bit.

    I agree.  I find it much easier to remove than pork rib membrane as it is so tough it does not rip apart.
