Moo short ribs

First time with beef short ribs.  Picked up two racks from the butcher on Friday and today was cook day.  Rubbed with white vinegar then did one rack with big **** ranch bull **** and one with just salt and pepper.  After 2 hrs, I started spritzing with a red wine, Worcestershire, and beef broth every 30 mins.  250° indirect with hickory until they probed easy (about 203°, just over 5 hrs). Smoked a sweet potato along with it and a side salad.  Both the wife and I agree, salt and pepper is the way to go, there's too much good meat flavor to cover up with complex rubs.

    Looks wonderful!

    I never spritz because in the BGE everything seems so moist anyway.  But your spritzing liquid sounded tasty.  Did it affect the flavor of the beef much?

    Thanks!

    I usually don't spritz either,  but I found a recipe and it sounded really good.  For a true test I should've only spritzed one rack to check the flavor profile.

    Great cook and result.  Brisket on a stick and they beat their pork cousins every time.  Congrats.
