I was happy to find these USDA Choice "Chuck" Short Ribs for about $3lb a while ago. Around here, these are usually $5.99lb. Before trimming, I'd say they were about 3/4lb apiece. I lightly dusted them with Scott's Santa Maria style seasoning and let them rest, while I got the fire going.
For this small cook, the mini was the best choice. Peach and cherry chunks, with Stubb's briquettes for the fuel. The smoker settled in at 260* and didn't vary much at all for the entire cook.
It smelled so dang good, it was hard not to peek. This is after about 4 hours or so...
Potato's from TJ's in the CI.
Time to chow down!
This cook lasted just about 6-hours on the 260* fire. No spritzing, no foiling and I lifted the lid only once for the pics I took at the 4 hour mark. If you can find this cut of beef, I'd highly recommend giving these a go!
