Beef ribs

Need some advice...   First time doing these.  Picked up some CAB short ribs to do tmrrw.  Am thinking uncovered for about 5 hrs and then wrapped for a couple?  What if anything to add when wrapped?   Any advice appreciated!  Thanks

             Wow, they look good. I don't wrap mine, but there's a recent thread where a guy wrapped for a steam finish - I think he added butter, wistershire, and broth.

    Great score-I'm guessing 7+ lbs of goodness.  I run nekked to the finish-line at around 250-260*F on the calibrated dome.  Usually will take 6-7 hrs-but finished when they pass the toothpick test.  I use worcestershire as a binder with Montreal steak seasoning.  
    I'm sure you can find wrapping and liquid suggestions-should you go that route, then give them around 30 minutes after the wrap to reset the bark.  Brisket on a stick.  Enjoy the cook and eats.

    I like to rub them in advance and let them marinate over night.  I use the following:
    2 tablespoons beef base
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    2-3 tablespoon olive oil 
    2-3 tablespoon water
    mix to brownie mix consistency 
    add fresh ground black pepper.

    low and slow for 6-8 hours.  You will enjoy.

    They are about 4 lbs.   should I cut them individually before smoking or leave it whole?

    This. @lousubcap knows of what he speaks.

    And @Sweet100s, cab stands for Certified Angus Beef.  It's good stuff.  Most consider it the equivalent of prime, or better.

    I like beau monde for beef ribs and standing roasts it's basically salt garlic and onion powder mix. Add some black pepper to that.  Worcestshire sauce or olive oil for binder - for beef ribs I'm a no wrap guy (I do wrap pork ribs) you could spritz if your worried but trust me those won't dry out :-) I'd also trim some of that thicker fat off.  https://youtu.be/nFVu_XwLrew

    Don't separate-leave whole and enjoy.  But your cook.  You will not be disappointed either way.  Until around a year ago I could only find them cut and sold separately but I asked at the chain (Kroger) meat counter and since then have been getting them right out of their meat locker uncut.  FWIW-

    Thanks everyone!  Keep the advice comin and I'll post the finish tmrrw.  I'm gonna keep it whole and trim some hard fat.   So what's everyone guess on time if I'm at 275ish?   7hrs?  Can I ftc if done early ?

    If running around 275*F on the dome, you may finish in the 6+ hour window, but the cow drives the finish-line.  You can FTC but let them sit on a cooling rack (air circulation) for around 15-20mins to stop the carry-over cook if you go down that route.  If Marysville, OH I can be there in around 2.5 hours  ;)

    No worries-I would likely get hosed by I-75 thru Cincy.  That construction project is a friggin nightmare. Leaving now-will be a few minutes late  ;)  Just save me one.  ;)  Are you sure this is going down today??

    I need to ask for them whole as well.. My publix always has them sawed in half. I got a few pounds of them on now... Love em, although mine don't really take that long- I guess being cut smaller?

    Put them on with the pork about an hour ago, for a 730 dinner.
