Never cooked, eaten, or even seen beef ribs before... Prime short ribs from Creekstone. Rubbed with Holy Cow and coffee grounds yesterday.
Set up the egg raised indirect over a water-filled drip pan. 250, 4 mesquite hunks. Put it on at noon. 4:00, it was hitting 165. Wrapped in butcher paper and put her back on for another 2 1/2 hours.
Pulled it and wrapped in foil - kept warm in a 175 oven for most of an hour.
So moist and tender - almost decadent. Goodness, gracious - good gosh a’mighty!

My first beef ribs were exquisite!! Been chasing ever since. Can’t reproduce, being from GA don’t prefer beef BBQ but these are a treat!! Like mine sweet like candy, just like my pork ribsYou can’t get to Loganville, Ga from anywhere. You have to start somewhere else

They look solid and good for you. I like beef ribs better than brisket—any day.Columbus, Ohio--A Gasser filled with Matchlight and an Ugly Drum.

Brisket on a stick right there. Nailed the cook. Congrats.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

I hear ya! After putting it on I read more about mesquite and started to worry, but wasn’t overly smokey. We had pretty high winds here today - maybe the wind blowing through the smokeware cap had a flushing effect, and reduced the intensity of the smoke?Botch said:Nailed them, but wow, four chunks of mesquite?
Anyway - these were just perfect. Don’t know how I could have done better.Maryland, 1 LBGE -

Beef ribs are what keep me chasing the dragon with brisket. I keep trying to make brisket as good as my beef ribs, never even come close.

Nothing wrong with mesquite other than people's learned averse reaction to it. If anything pairs well with it, it is slow and slow beef.______________________________________________I love lamp..

They look awesome, but you lost me at butcher paper. I would never have thought buther paper would be an option in an oven. Foil yes, parchment paper, maybe, but butcher paper?

Paper won't ignite until the temp is >400 degrees. The temps he had going on were <250.Outlaw56 said:They look awesome, but you lost me at butcher paper. I would never have thought buther paper would be an option in an oven. Foil yes, parchment paper, maybe, but butcher paper?

In the last year, I have done three prime packers (costco), several flats and one weird cut brisket thing I posted here. While some turned out fine, none have been as flat out amazing as the beef ribs. I just think the ribs are more forgiving and are a much easier cook. I did some beef ribs two days ago, and they were done in 4.75 hours at 275. And they were fantastic!!JohnEggGio said:I haven’t done a brisket yet. It can’t be as good - can it?

My first time using butcher paper. I read about it here: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/10/texas-style-beef-short-ribs-recipe.htmlOutlaw56 said:so what is the purpose of butcher paper opposed to foil?
Near as I could tell, it protected the meat from additional smoking, absorbed some of the excess liquid, and maybe most important - it doesn’t seal so tight as to hold in all moisture vapor - so the beef doesn’t braise.
@alaskanassasin I hear ya, bro - I have a new favorite cook! Gotta say, I haven’t heard so many “ooooo”s and “aaaaa”s and “so good”s out of the wife since...well, it’s been a while...Maryland, 1 LBGE
