First attempt at anything Low and Slow - Beef ribs

[Hottuna]

After being inspired from all the post on here I decided to give it a shot. I was going to do a dry run but decided to buy some cheap beef ribs - $12 for this lot, I can`t complain, at least I would have something to sink my teeth into after all my effort.

I finely chopped some rosemary and thyme and add these some of the spices in the image, rubbed the ribs and left them overnight

My first snake

They turned out fine, maybe a little thin after 2hrs it was holding only 220f so I lit the other end which help temps climb to 275f - perfect.


after 2hrs at 220f and and 1.5hrs at 275f (3.5hours total)  I foiled them adding red wine a touch of salt and chucked em back on for 1hour. Then removed the foil and back on again for only about 30min as I didn't want them to dry out. I brushed some sweet baby rays on the larger rack then foiled them and wrapped in a towel to rested for an hour.
They turned out unreal!!


Im happy with my first effort - It would not have been possible without the help and assistance ive found here - thanks Grillfellas

I need to get my hands on some other flavours of smoke wood - Jocool help!

Next time im going to make my snake thicker I think...

They looked darn good.  I've never done beef ribs yet, but want to try it.  Were you shooting for a 3-2-1 method sort of?

[Craig]

Love beef ribs!  Those look great!

Nice job Tuna! I'm going to add rosemary the next time I do these and shoot for more of a tri tip flavor. Thanks for sharing that.

[Hottuna]

Thanks fellas
Jeff yes i was aiming for the 3.2.1 but shortened it a little as i didnt want them dry.

Duke fresh grinded rosemary is even better on pork! I think the red wine gave them great colour and flavour and they worked well together.

Those look great! I love beef ribs but it's hard to get any with meat on them 'round here.

Nice work for your first low 'n slow. I trust there will be more.
