    First time short ribs - alot of fat

    The bones have been cut in half and there is very little meat above the bones. Mostly next to it. After 4 hours smoking there was a small stall between 70 and 80 Celcius (about 180F) so i decided to wrap them with foil, as my paper order didnt came in yet. So far not unhappy:)

    First time short ribs - alot of fat

    Dear members, After some trial and error with baby backs I wanted to try short ribs. I got these and they seem different from what I see online. There is a lot of fat. Are they usable and/or do they need to be trimmed?
