Man that looks good, would ya be offended if I only put the ribs and Avocado salad on my plate? Just can't bring myself to eat sweet potatoes, but if that's what I got to do to get a plate of those ribs and salad, I may have to force down the sweet potato LOL
 
Repurposing leftovers is a favorite of mine. Like!
Yes'sir, and BBQ'd meat is very versatile.

LoL, thanks Pete.
You're gonna have to choke one down.
House rules with my kids, you at least have to try it.

Those ribs look amazing. The only way they would look better to me is if I had one of them in my hand. Love the idea of the sweet potato. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Gotta give it a try. Great work as usual.
 
Great looking ribs!
With the 4th of July this week I may have to check and see if any places have extra beef ribs at a reasonable price. Brisket is on sale all over the Dallas area but haven't caught wind of any beef rib sales.
 
I hate sweet potatos....and the Mrs. came home with a six pack of sweet potato beer for me last night. I haven't tried it yet. :( That taco looks incredible!

Those beef ribs look like the ones I bought last Saturday. I will definitely be following this thread to see the finished product.

This is a great model. 270-280 seems like a high temperature for smoking - I love the outcome, but never went that high before. Does the high temp allow for the fat to render and to create a bark bark easier?
How do know when the ribs need to be braised?

Nope, 275°-300° is perfect for big beef short ribs.
It's great for a lot of other cooking too, poultry, bacon wrapped items, Butts, Briskets and more, Hot-n-Fast is getting popular.
Fats render just fine, great bark as you can see.
No braising necessary.
 
I’m now 3 hours in. Spritzed with some low sodium beef broth, but no wrap.
Not sure what the next step is. I’m looking for bark. Steven Raichlen says 8-10 hours, some of you have said 6 hours - every cook is different I know. I’m not adding any more wood chips, temp is 260. I’m guessing I just check on them here or there checking for tenderness— correct?

If you want to put a meat probe into the biggest one then around 204-205F Interal Temp (IT) you could start checking for tenderness and if you stab all over with a toothpic, especially around the membraine/bone area and it goes in like butter then they are ready, if not keep cooking and test again in another degree or 2 :)
