Beef rib advise needed

Picked up 10# bone in short ribs
and 4+# back ribs
im thinking there shouldn’t be much difference in the cook, putting both on XL indirect 250* for 1.5-2 hrs, then wrap with a spritz of apple juice for 1.5 hrs and finishing up 15-20 mins on grid.
Any advice will be appreciated.

    Thick beef ribs may take longer than that - although the time in the foil may make it work.  It usually takes 5-6 hours at 275 - but I don't wrap them.

    I just recently stared wrapping pork ribs, my wife likes them fall off the bone. 
    Was thinking beef ribs the same way wouldn’t hurt. I’ve done smaller slabs a couple of times on my Medium,without wrapping and was 1/3 for goodness, still edible but..meh on the 2/3.

    Sprinkle your rub of choice, put them on and let them ride naked until they reach about 200° - 205°. Toothpick test and if there is no resistance pull and let rest for about 15 mins or so before slicing and devouring. Never been disappointed with that simple approach. Beef ribs are probably one of my favorite low & slow cooks these days.

    How ever long you think beef ribs will take to cook, add an hour or so to it.

    Drip pan is needed for the renderings.
