    Confused on Beef short Ribs

    So I got a very little bit of what is labeled as "Beef Short Ribs" and I am just not sure how to smoke these.

    Newbie Reporting In

    Well just picked up my very first smoker yesterday even though after more reading I'm not as optimistic about it as I was when I bought it. Starting out I didn't want to spend $200-$300 on a smoker. I was originally going to get the simple little Brinkman "Green Gourmet" smoker but came accross...
