Meat: St. Louis Style Ribs and Boneless Short Ribs. My 1st time smoking both of these cuts.

Rub: Thin layer of yellow mustard and Jeff's rub + 4 additional spices applied the night before and into the fridge to rest for the night.

Wood: Cherry

Technique: Ribs 3-1.5-1 Short Ribs 3-2-1

Smoker: Camp Chef Smoke Vault

Temp: 220-240

Sauce: St. Louis Ribs: Homemade BBQ Beef Short Ribs: Sriracha Honey Glaze

Outcome:

St. Louis Ribs:This was my 1st shot at St.Louis Ribs as well as the short ribs. I decided to do 3-1.5 (foiled with brown sugar and AJ/Capt Morgan mix) -1 with the St. Louis Ribs after doing some reading on times on this forum. Popular opinion was that a traditional 3-2-1 makes them overdone and a bit mushy. The technique I used made them PERFECT! They were tender but not fall off the bone....a nice bite and a slight tug resulted in a mouthful of goodness. Awesome!

Boneless Beef Short RIbs:The short ribs were done with 3-2 (foiled with beer and AJ/ Capt. Morgan mix) -1 and they came out very good as well. The last hour, the ribs were glazed with the Sriracha glaze. The glaze was very tasty with some sweetness and a slight burn in the back of your throat. Nice!

And now.....here comes the QVIEW/Bearview!!

She should be just a whimper when she gets up to you!
I hope you're right Al, but it certainly doesnt seem like it.  We are prepared and just hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

Bear: Thanks for the compliments! I enjoy taking those Bearview/closeups

Nice work! Would like to hear more about this AJ & Captin mix. Also, did you 3-2-1 the shorts?
I have some AJ and Captain in a spray bottle. I didnt do any precise measurements....lol I did do 3-2-1 with the short ribs. They came out very tender.
 
 
Your wife is probably like mine, and won't let you frame a couple of them & hang them in the kitchen.

I'm a lucky guy.  I just showed Mrs. Scooper your post and she said, "What a great idea!  We get pics of the grand kids almost every day in emails.  Yeah, frame pics of your smoked meats!"

Chaz, both those look amazing!  I have tried the boneless shorts several times and cannot produce a good result.  I will be trying them again with your method.  thanks!

Probably not a good idea though, for those of us on a diet.
