Big Beef Ribs

[Big Dawg]

So here goes my inaugural cook post with you guys (gals).  Don't be too tough on me . . .

A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a 4-pack of Beef Chuck Ribs at Restaurant Depot.  Each rack had four bones and weighed about 4 lbs.  I vac sealed each rack and froze them.  Thursday I decided it was time to give them a go and pulled out two racks to thaw.

Saturday night I sprinkled them with some of Rod Gray's Most Dangerous Stuff and put them to bed. 



I started them on the 26 at a little after 11:00.  It ran between 250º - 275º for the cook.  It's only my second cook on the 26 so I'm still working on dialing in the new kid, but you know what they say . . . "practice makes perfect."  I'm using the charcoal ring from one of my WSMs to shape the worm.  Smoke was provided by a combination of mesquite and pecan.



At about 3 hours in, I started spritzing them with apple juice at roughly 45 minute intervals.



Here they are at after 6 hours.  I pulled them off, wrapped them, and put them in the cooler to rest until dinner time.



Dinner was delayed.  So after a quick warm-up in the oven, we're finally ready to go.





Having tried beef back ribs once, and now having cooked these, I don't understand why stores even stock that product.  The only people who would buy them are those that don't know better. 

Plus, at $3.64 lb. for these Dino Bones, it's really a reasonably priced dinner.  Abut the same as St. Louis ribs, just a longer cook.

Can't wait for an excuse to thaw out the other two racks ! ! !

That is one hell of a smoke ring!  Very nicely done!!!

Damn, @Big Dawg those look great! I wish I could find them around me, I've been wanting to try for a long time.

You might want to put a drip pan or piece of foil under those ribs next to help keep your kettle clean.

Love the idea of using the wsm ring as a snake guide!

Yes, I realize that now.  Thanks ! !

Even some HD foil would have helped a lot.  Looking for a round pan to fit inside the ring.

I don't know why they are so hard to find either.   Every once in a while the Safeway by me will have them, but cut into 1 rib portions, usually in packs of 2.

Dino bones are the ultimate treat, they're like meat on a stick.

Those look fantastic! I love beef ribs! I would go as far to say I prefer beef ribs to pork and I love pork ribs too. Killer smoke ring!

[jfbincypress]

Look great!

I prefer beef to pork, as well...however the gf prefers pork strongly (and beef is generally double pork in my area), so I don't get to cook beef ribs as often.
