Beef Ribs (plate ribs)

[lowslowmac]

does anyone have a problem finding beef ribs full plate? i can only find them cut in individual pcs and want to smoke a whole flat plate of them but can never find them. is there a good spot online that i could be missing? have a craving to try to smoke them

I buy mine from a local butcher by the case.

Ask for chuck ribs or dino ribs. Sometimes they have them but call them a different name.

Try asking the butcher at your grocers meat dept.. He may have some that aren't already cut up.

i'll go that route with the local grocer, don't have a true good butcher near me unfortunately. hopefully they can accomodate. thanks for the name suggestions too, appreciate it all.

from what I have been reading from other posts - these are not common place in all regions. They are pretty common in UT which is odd because usually this is not the case.

Or you can do like I do.
Buy your annual Prime Ribs with the bones in.
Then when you get them home, cut the bones off, leaving extra meat, and save them separately. Well here---Just check out the link below for what I'm talking about:
