So I finally decided to smoke some beef ribs.  Not the little short riblets you buy in the supermarket that barely have any meat on them but the real man-sized ribs I see on tv.

Went to my local Restaurant Depot and got a couple racks of Angus plate ribs, doused them with some Worcestershire sauce and rubbed them up with a good amount of Holy Cow BBQ Rub from Meat Church.


That's two 3-bone racks you see. One leaning on top of the other.

I set my MES to 230 degrees and loaded up some hickory chips and let her roll.  I put each rack in an aluminum pan and also had a pan with some water in it.  I was trying to get them to an IT of about 200 degrees but after about 8.5 - 9 hours they stalled at 170.  I was worried about ruining all that beautiful, expensive beef so I started probing for tenderness and my probe was going in really easily. I decided to pull them and wrap the pan in foil and let them rest for about an hour.





Turned out to be some of the best beef I have ever eaten. Tender, super juicy and that rub was amazing.  I have used Meat Church's Honey Hog rub on pork butts and the color and flavor is outstanding.The family loved them and I took a rib to a co-worker 3 days later and he raved about them.  I am calling this one a success!
 
Nice , :drool , Dino Bones are great , but a bit to expen$ive for me . I'll have to stick with the little bones . :frown:

but keep sending your Q-view of them , I enjoy looking .

(I need to try to talk SWMBO into getting a rack like that ! :deadhorse:)
 
Bump your temp up to about 250-275 you won't have to worry about the stall to much.
Nice job for your first time.
