Old school beef and pork ribs. Cen-Tex style.

SGH Posts: 28,989
Nothing fancy today. Just some pork BB's and some beef back ribs. Thought I would slow things down today and just relax. Going old school, 200-225 degrees over heavy oak and pecan wood on Unit #6. For the rub, just basic salt, pepper and a ever so slight hint of cayenne. No water pan, no injection, no marinade. Just gentle heat and heavy smoke until done. Hope that yall enjoy.

    OMG @SGH! Those beef ribs look simply divine. Someday I want to own a Unit #6 so I can cook on sticks. Hope you had a relaxing day and a nice reward at the end.

    Looks great, but where's the pork?!

    Why the beef above the pork instead of the reverse? I'm used to seeing the pork on top to add the love to whatever is below.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    Thank you. If you ever decide to get a stick burner, give me a shout. I can save you well over a 1,000 dollars. That's not a joke, I really can.

    The pork is still cooking my friend. I'm the one eating the beef so I pulled them very rare. I like them a little bloody just like my rib eyes. I prefer beef over pork, just my preference my friend.

    That was the very end rib. The center ones were more on the rare side. Look at it close and you can see that it's the trailing rib and not from the center. They were excellent. The next time we grill oysters, I will throw some of these on as well.

    Well, my friend, your worn out, broken-down Weber kettle is a Stradivarius of meat cooking skill.  I will hold you up to that offer or have my friend do a show and tell with his gun collection.  Insider joke, lest anyone think I'm evil.  Actually, I think I might be.  But morality is subjective.

    I smoked these ribs for almost 6 hours fluctuating in between 200-225 degrees. They turned out very heavily smoked which is what I was shooting for. No sauce or glaze, just the simple rub of salt, pepper and cayenne. Hope that yall enjoy.
