    I smoked up a small batch of beef ribs. Hand rubbed with my own rub, served with my own Memphis Q sauce.

    Here is the low down.. Rubbed the ribs the night before, Smoked the ribs 250 for 3.5 hours, Spraying them with beer every hour, Foiled them and added beer to the package <about 1/4 cup of beer> for 2 hours, Unfoiled them, Smoked them for another 45 minutes at 300 deg to firm them up.

    Awesome looking food. I was going to do pork spare ribs this Thursday, may change that to beef ribs, using your cook times. How was the flavor and texture?

    Hi Mack.. Texture and taste is great if ya like beef.. very tender no teeth needed, the meet was just about falling off the bone. Before you put the rub on I would suggest rubbing it down with crushed carlic first..<I forgot too on this batch>


    Good Luck and if ya need more help.. just call out.

    Joe,

    Hi Dale, When I foil them I added the 1/4cup of beer... So when I unfoil I collect the juice that's left in the foil and pour it off to a bowl and skim the fat from the top.. I use that to for the final mopping.

    Like I said if you like beef, you'll love these ribs just don't forget the garlic <not powdered garlic>

    Let me know how it works for you,

    Joe

    Hi Rodger,
    The beef ribs are 1/2 the cost of the pork riibs up here.. I figured you would like the close up pic of them. The wife likes the pork ribs better as do I but the beef ribs are a nice change. BTW I'm getting more info on the bacon and curing meats with no nitrates.. Seems very simple ... I'll let ya know when I get just a tad more info.

    Let's see-last Sunday it was 10 pounds of meatloaf and some smoked taters. Last Thursday the youngest son fired up the smoker and smoked up some Johnsonville Brats (I was stuck at work) and the Sunday before that I did a couple of racks of ribs. I'm averaging about one smoke a week.

    Real nice looking ribs there..my only question..How much did you have to bribe the butcher to leave some meat on the ribs?...The only beef ribs I can find around here.. are skinned down to the bone and aren't worth the ridiculous price they expect people to pay...

    Good job..

    Later
