Hey all. I got some beef short ribs to smoke tomorrow. Never done them before. They came in little 3 bone, 8" long racks about 3 inches wide and 2 in thick. Any pointers on how to do these and approximately how long they might take to cook properly (and at what cooking temp)? Will the 3-2-1 method work for these? I'm using MES30. Thanks!

I run them in the 240-250 range on my WSM. It can take upwards of 6-7 hours to smoke at that temperature. I keep the rub simple(SPOG) and use hickory and almond/pecan for the smoke. This combination of rub and smoke lets the beef flavor shine through. 

Once you try them, you may never go back to pork ribs...

Yep, do them just like spares.

3-2-1 will work just fine.
