Beef Ribs On A Stormy Day

in Beef
Yesterday the forecast was calling for 8-12" of snow.  Those totals did materialize to the west of me, my area ended up with about an inch of freezing rain/ice, that changed to a dusting of snow later in the evening.  It was pretty...
The Egg was glazing over with ice and looked cold.  As a preventive measure against it freezing up I decided to cook a rack of ribs...
All warmed up and on they go.  They sat in the fridge 4-5 hours with some SPG, then a light coat of Red Eye Express right before they hit the Egg...
Ready after about 5.5 hours at 260ish.  I forgot to remove the jalapeno that was to be roasted, ended up dehydrating it...
Served up with coleslaw and some leftover mac-n-cheese...
For some reason I get extra satisfaction from Egging in inclement weather.

    Looks great! Not much pullback on those.  My last beef rib cook had the meat shrinking like a frightened turtle.

    dbCooper those ribs look mighty fine. I have read many of your rib cooks and hopefully retained enough knowledge for my next try at them.

    Nailed it. Beef ribs are such a satisfying, good cook. 

     But, there's always that one bone that does its own thing!

    Agree. There is something really fun about a long smoke in extremely cold temperatures.

    Love how you sliced against a bone for all meat on same side.

    Great cook.  Beat their pork cousins every time.  And you had all four bones head in the same direction-a rarity.
    Nailed 'em as always!

    Was revisiting this 🧵 and was wondering if you could explain what the hell is going on with this?

    @dmchicago - That is a 30+ year old cast iron chiminea. It is in the development stage of being adapted for doing Caveman cooks.  Cast off parts from the LBGE are being used in the project.
    - Early (non-adjustable) big dial Smokeware temp. gauge that reads 20' too high.
    - Wobbly firebox that came with my Egg will be a warming chamber.
    - Original Kick-Ash-Basket (thin carbon steel, not the nice thick stainless sold now) is a spark arrestor.
    - Internals are still being sorted out, hope to do the first caveman in it this Spring.
    Note that over the years many things have been cooked on that ledge the firebox is sitting on.  Likely over-beveraged on every occasion.
