Since everyone was going to be scattered celebrating July 4th, I cooked for the clan yesterday, July 3rd. On the menu were whole beef short ribs, or dino ribs, and while digging around in the freezer, I found a rack of beef back ribs. So why not both...
I was going to use the Kinders, but instead opted for another homemade rub that I got off the interweb some time ago, but I can't remember where. I had actually forgotten about it until I was looking through some of my recipes and there it was...
- ¼ cup coarse salt
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 TBSP coarse black pepper
- 2 TBSP paprika
- 2 TBSP chili powder
- 1 TBSP garlic powder
- 1 TBSP cayenne
No binder, just rubbed and into the fridge overnight Saturday night...
Fired up the my TMG pit with some lump and white oak. Once the smoke and temp got right, the dinos went on. I was figuring on an 8 hour cook time for them and about 6 on the back ribs. So after 2 hours, I put the back ribs on...
Trying to keep temp in the 250℉ range. Top is the grate temps on each end. Bottom numbers are the dinos...
Ribs were all done and probe tender a little sooner than I had planned, not quite 7 hours total. Temp was 201℉...
Time to cut the ribs...
Made a salad...
Fresh corn and mother in law brought brown rice. Time to eat...
Since the ribs were done a little sooner than I had planned, I put them on a pan wrapped in foil and into the oven at 175℉ to hold. I think the back ribs got a little dry, the short ribs were fine. Should've wrapped and put in a cooler.
Anyway, I hope y'all have a great July 4th and stay safe...
