Beef ribs

[sparks65]

Smoked off 2 racks of beef ribs on my Primo XL  I use the same technic as for pork ribs, 3-1-45. Pit temp @ 240°, 1/2 basket o lump charcoal and Cherry blocks (should have used Oak) for smoke.  Turned out not too bad.

They look great! What didn't you like about the cherry?

They sure look good from here!

Why do you say they weren't too bad?

What didn't you like?

If anything, maybe you didn't cook them long enough.

I usually do 3-2-1 for beef ribs.

Smokin Al.  I find that at 1 hr + in the foil, the ribs are way more than fall off the bone.  The last 45 min. aside from mopping kinda firms the meat up a bit.

Not too sure what they would be like after 2 hr braising.

I usually add 1/2C of beef broth to the pack....Maybe I shouldn't?

When I do 3-2-1 for beef ribs, I do not add any liquid to the packet. Always have a good 1/4+ cup of liquid in the foil when I pull them. As for timing I go any where from 45 min-1 hour. I check them at 45 minutes to see where they are at.

Most recently I have been trying a different method for beef ribs and have been getting great results. Higher temp 325°, and individual cut ribs.  No foil straight cook on the grate.
