Nothing like a little Fred Flintstone beef rib action to get the mouth watering. Please share the post-smokin' pics.

PS - it's 69 outside right now here in the Texas Hill Country....that snow makes me shiver!

Nice!! Havwe fun. Almost 50 here in Maryland today. :laugh:

Jeffersonian

I lied a bit in my pics...the first was from yesterday, just after the snow. It's warming up a lot here today, too. Supposed to be 60 by Monday...go figger.

Yes, I'll post the final result (if edible).

O yes! Neather rain nor sleet nor snow can keep the Real Egging man down. One thing I do not understand. Why do all ya'll yankies Egg outside in the rain and snow and us rebs build nice dry roofs and such over our Eggs such as me and Chicken? Must me a mocho thing up there! :laugh:

Jeffersonian

I think it's that verandah thing you Rebs got goin' on down there. Hard to have Scarlett look all dainty and such, fanning herself in a driving rain.

A response might just start another urinatin' contest. Chill out and enjoy your surroundings...

It's in the 40s and sunny here in Central MA (Pats' Country) and we are cooking ribs tonight and Pizzas tomorrow, basking in the 40 degree heat, that,s T shirt weather up here. We have been cooking in the snow here since Christmas.

Beef ribs are fantastic I'm sure yours will come out great.

It can be, what is the word, OPPRESSIVE!!!

Here's what my babies look like three hours in:



And foiled:

Pulled at about 5-1/2 hours after 3 hours indirect, 1-3/4 foiled and 45 minutes to firm them up. Here's the result:

Plated:


The verdict: Much, much better than previous beef rib cooks. The ribs were far more tender and not nearly as fatty. Falling off the bone, as you can see. The kids even liked them, and they aren't big fans of beef ribs. I didn't sauce them since some of them prefer less or even none.

Look great! We don't see beef ribs around hear much except shorts. Brookshires had some beef ribs on last week but they looked freezer burned and stringie. They were CHEAP but why waste your time if the meat is sorry to start with?
