Turbo Beef Back?

Hey Eggers - Haven't done Beef Back Ribs on the LBGE yet... tomorrow is maiden voyage.  Just rubbed with Dizzy Pig Red Eye.  Can I do turbo method, like I do with my Spare Ribs?  No particular time crunch, but hoping to be done in ~3 hours.  Don't like foil.  Lay it on me!  
My daughter named my Egg Shrek, because it is big, green, and burps.

God Bless America!

    Beef ribs - you need time to render the fat and get them tender. I don't recommend turbo. 

    Here's how I cook them:

    Smoke at 250-275, looking for 185 IT to probe tender.

    Put them into a covered pan with a shallow bath of beef broth, butter and Worcestershire sauce for about an hour and serve. The pan sauce is killer over the ribs.

    As above, don't know of anyone running turbo, but someone's gotta jump into the pool.  If you really are time constrained and have to do beef backs in a tight window (figuring you paid a dear price for them) I would make sure there is minimal to no sugar in the rub and go for it.  As long as you don't overly crisp/char the outside and go with the tooth-pick for the feel you should be able to pull it off.  FWIW-
    Edit:  Easy for me to offer your ribs for a test...

    Turbo - pork is good but beef is a cook of patience. Don't rush it.
