Beef short ribs.

[ahsmoker]

First time smoking beef short ribs on a Bradley. It's a 3.5 lb slab. Want to know the best way to smoke these. Should I put them in a foil pan? How long to smoke? Should I cut them up first? Don't want to ruin my first beef ribs!!

Oh man, several ways to go. 3-2-1 is a good option. The braise during the 2 part really helps break down the connective tissues.

Another method I just tried was cutting into individual ribs.seasoning all sides and going straight on the grate at higher pit temp 325. They turned out great also.

So there's two options.

What kind of seasoning is generally used? Good Ol' salt and pepper? Or a spiced rub? And how long to leave the rub on before smoking?

S&P works well, but Montreal steak seasoning is what we usually use.

Did 4 racks of beef short ribs last Saturday, used Franklin's 50/50 S&P method.  I thought they were a bit too salty, but the beef flavor, tenderness, and bark were great. Doing some again tomorrow, going to try 40/60 S/P ratio this time.

^^^Did you go by weight, or by volume?
