Don't forget the Q-view!

They are great, especially if you can get some meaty ones. The ones around here don't have much meat on them.

I really like me some short ribs. I don't know what you have there but I can get long bone shot ribs and I smoke them to temp for they are really thick. I take them to about 200° and they are fall off the bone tender and very good to.

 

[raastros2]

Yeah everything in this swamp comes with a lot of meat on it

 

[raastros2]

How long they usually take to get to 200? Around 6 hours?

 

[SmokinAl]

A lot of guys do them 3-2-1 just like spares.

I did some using 3-2-1 and they were fantastic.

3-2-1 = 3 open 2 covered and 1 open correct?

 

[raastros2]

Do I need to get the membrane off the ribs like pork?

 

[raastros2]

Mustard and rub or just vegetable oil and rub

Not to hijack the thread, but those are some great looking shortribs, Mark!

Good luck and good smoking.

Just did 8 racks of the beef short ribs from matherns $1.99 lb. smoked em using 3-2-1 . fantastic other than i now know why they were on sale .

1/4" thick slab of gristle running thru the middle of every rack. . ended up carving the meat off the bones to take out the gristle and will use it  in a future dish.

 

[raastros2]

How long do you guys usually let your rub sit on the ribs before you start to smoke

 

[raastros2]

Nobody members huh

 

[alelover]

Usually overnight. 12 -24 hours or so.

 

[raastros2]

Ok sweet...and the membrane needs to come off just like pork ribs huh

 

[alelover]

If you can get it off without a fight. It's not critical.

LOL been so long since I did short ribs I had to look at my notes. (can't find decent ones here) My notes say cover with cheap mustard and rub, set in fridge over night. smoke 3-2-1
