I've been looking for beef ribs around here for a while and finally found some at Fred Meyer (part of Kroger). They were cheap and looked good so I grabbed them. I wanted to keep it simple so after getting some great advice (thanks to everyone but especially Dawn since I followed hers the...
Thanks for all of the suggestions.
Dawn -- you're the winner because your method is the most low-maintenance...figure there's no need to reinvent the wheel, at least not the first time.
Ribs have been on for 2.5 hours and things are looking good. I'll post a full Q-View later in the day...
I find that mixing chunks with chips helps my smoke but everyone seems to have their own methods. I don't use foil at all. The mix of chunks and chips produces a nice, steady thin smoke for much longer than 30 minutes.
For me, the lid always rests on the sides of the box. The chunks are...
We were all new once so no need to apologize about that. I have a GOSM as well and usually get about 1.5-2 hours of smoke before refilling. I usually start with 3 fist-size chunks and sprinkle chips around them in the stock cast-iron wood box. The smoke usually starts when the temp gets to...
Hey all-
Doing my first beef ribs tomorrow and was just wondering how people recommend doing them. Any rub/mop suggestions? how about cooking times? I saw some nice-looking ones on here the other day (forgot who did them...sorry) and he said he just went by looks rather than temps.
So...
Those do look great! I'm doing my first Beef ribs on Saturday so I've been taking notes. Did you check the internal temp on them (if possible, that is) or did you just pull them when they looked done?
I'm with Hungryjohn on this one. No soaking and I usually use 3 or so chunks surrounded by some chips. Seems to work well and I usually get about 2 hours of smoke before having to refill.
I have a couple of ET-7's and yeah, that's a nice price. I got mine for that price a year back and they've been great. The range isn't fantastic and they don't have a low temp. alarm but once you get used to it, I think you'll really like them.
Just did some enhanced ones from Fred Meyer (part of Kroger) and I can really tell the difference. I like the non-enhanced ones from Costco much, much better.
Those look great. Can't wait to hear how the taste. I bought a few racks of BB's yesterday and have them on now but I also bought my very first beef ribs. The price was a steal and I'm going to do them just like yours...provided they taste delicious, of course.
That does look fantastic. I'm not sure if I coulda waited till the french dips were ready...I know I'd be shoveling those slices in my mouth before the bread hit the plate.
I usually like to use Bacardi Apple Rum but I was out so I thought pear vodka sounded good. I don't know how much it added but it certainly didn't hurt.
Nice work on your first...looks great. If you want to save yourself from some clean-up next time, line your drip pan with foil. You can just pull the foil off after the smoke and your pan should still be fairly clean.
