Beef Ribs 3-10-09

[sgtcowboyusmc]

OK This is the second time I have done Beef Ribs. My Wife liked the first batch of Ribs that she asked I do another batch. Looks like it may be a weekly thing!

I used the 3-2-1 method.
I put the Ribs in the disposable aluminum pans and covered them with Pappys Choice rub and let it set in the frig overnight. At noon I put the Ribs in a preheated MES and let them cook at 225 degrees for 3 hours. I added 2-1 Hickory and Mesquite, meaning I used 2 parts Hickory to 1 part Mesquite. After 1 hour I sprayed on Apple Juice and then again at the 2 hour mark. At the 3 hour mark I again sprayed on Apple Juice. I then Foiled the Ribs and cooked them for 2 hours. I then took the foil off and sprayed the ribs with you guessed it, Apple Juice and cooked the Ribs for 1 more hour. I take "Sweet Baby Rays" BBQ sauce and I mix it with, you guessed it, Apple Juice. I then slather the sauce on the ribs. Again My Family agreed they are the BEST RIBS we have ever had!

Congratulations Sgt; they look tasty. Have you ever tried smoking the beef ribs without foil? Good call with the mesquite, nothing compares with mesquite smoke flavor on beef (in my opinion).
Thanks for the QVIEW,

Tom

Tom- No I have only done the Dino Bones twice. Both times I have done it using the 3-2-1 method as described in the SMF. When I read the article on smoking ribs and then the 3-2-1 method I decided on it.
Thank You for your Service Tanker!

Oh man those look good. No one in my family like beef ribs, can you believe that? Especially my wife. We live on a farm and butcher our own cows so you know who gets the ribs? Thats right baby, I do. ALL MINE. I cant get enough of em. Since I am still pretty new to the smoking scene, I have yet to have them smoked, but I will just as soon as Spring gets here. Good job Sgt.

Those ribs look great.

Meat Hunter I know what you mean. I just did some beef ribs because my wife doesn't eat pork. Lot's of meat on those bones but too much fat for her. BTW she eats them with a knife and fork

 

[iadubber]

Oh man! I need to try those!

 

[meat hunter]

She eats them with a knife and fork???
Your serving her divorce papers, right?

 

[scubadoo97]

It's a family thing. Her dad eats fried chicken with a knife and fork. Go figure. I get to enjoy my many hobbies without complaint so it's a give and take.

 

[meat hunter]

Ok, my heads starting to hurt now. Fried chicken with a knife and fork. Yeah I hear ya about the hobbies. My wife puts up with allot of my antics so I really cant complain either. She always gets on me for eating one thing at a time on my plate. You know, if we have potatoes, corn, beets and steak, I eat one of them at a time till there gone and move on the next. Drives her nuts. She even yelled at me one time at the table, in a friendly way of course. "Why don't you mix it up a bit instead of eating just one thing?" I told her why, it all comes out the same.

 

[cowgirl]

lol...Scubadoo...a knife and fork? ....Well at least she likes em.

Great looking ribs Sgt! Beef ribs havta be my favorite too. Mmmmm...
