I friggin' love smoked beef ribs. All things being equal it is my favorite type of BBQ. I have only made once though so I don't know much about them beyond eating. Doing a little research online it seems plate short ribs is the way to go, if I can find. How do I know how much to buy per person? Any prep needed beyond Dalmatian rub and removing membrane? How long, on average, should I expect them to take to cook? Is it similar to brisket? I assume I can FTC for awhile with no issues? And, like brisket, should I use butcher's paper instead of foil?
What else am I missing? Thanks!

BBQ from the State of Connecticut!

My last ones weren’t tall enough.
Ended out with too much icing and not enough cake. (Too much yummy bark, not enough meat). But when you’re really hungry, you can’t just eat all bark
As far as how much to buy, it's probably not something you want to serve a crowd unless you're ready to drop some $$$ so I would only purchase one slab (4 ribs) for 2-3 people to enjoy.
I also wouldn't remove the membrane on beef ribs (or pork ribs either, but that's an argument for another time).
Personally I think regular chuck ribs give a similar flavor on a smaller scale and are typically cheaper. Though I have noticed the price on these skyrocketing lately...
