Beef Ribs

PattyO

Long bone beef ribs, not short ribs. I'll do them in an inverted V rack. But, direct or indirect, how long, and how hot? I already have the seasoning and sauce selected.
Thanks

I would do them indirect bone side down at 250f in the beginning. They usually take 6+ hours. After 3 hours, spritz them every 45 minutes or so. The meat should be turned each time you spritz. Use the rack if you prefer,but I like to do without a rack. Have a drip pan as they may be fatty and flare. I usually cut them into 3-4 bone slabs. makes for easier handling. The meat will tell you when it is ready.

Look yummy. I don't think mine would fit flat, so I'll stand them up in my MBGE. Sprits with what? I want to make sure I do this right.

Would indirect cooking flare?
PattyO, still on the beginning of the learning curve.

I spritz with 1/3 apple cider vinegar, 1/3 apple juice sweet and 1/3 water. Little spray bottle works or brush with mixture. Sometimes I add some BBQ sauce to the mixture toward the last hour and brush it on.

It might if you have the plate setter and the drippings get eggcessive on it. I wrap my plate setter in Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil (HDAF) and place on little 1/2 inch copper elbows a drip pan with water. Make sure the liquid does not evaporate as that will then make NASTY smoke.

My first batch on the egg turned out horrible. It took 2 years before I tried them again. The next time they were absolutely wonderful.

I did mine indirect with a drip pan. There is a lot of rendering with meaty ribs. I went 250°. Sorry don't remember the time as I cooked until they were done to my liking. I watch for the meat pull back and as you can see, taste test. The test was great so I pulled and we ate.

Well, I finally got it up, then down to temp. Put on the V rack and the lid would not close. Not even with the large ones in the middle and shorter bones on the end rack. So I laid them flat. A little crowded but they're on. Maybe I'll eat by 8:00 tonite. I'll let you all know the results. How do you post pictures?

Those are some of the best ribs I have seen
