Over the weekend I picked up some beef ribs from the grocery store. Apparently they hide the good stuff out back, because all they had on display were the tiny beef ribs cut into three ribs. Asked an associate and he came back with 4 massive Dino bones. It was a bit expensive (38 dollars) but well worth it. I trimmed some of the fat off but left a good amount on because I have read that brings flavor. Next time I will trim a bit more because we thought they were a bit to fatty. Seasoned with salt and pepper. Smoked for 3 hours, wrapped in foil for two, and smoked for another 35-40 minutes. Smoked with pecan and charcoal. I also did some light spritzing with apple juice.

Great looking bones you got there. I've got some I bought on sale from our little mom-n-pop store here. Currently their in a deep freeze patiently waiting for a day above 40*.

Point for sure.

Yeah I had never even tasted beef ribs so I wasn’t quite sure if my trimming was part of the issue or that’s just how they are. They were delicious regardless.


Yours Look Great, but that's a lot of $$$.:)

Nice Job! Like.

I like to trim the bones off of my Prime Ribs, when I get them.
Then I save them & make a few sets of Ribs at a time.
I always cut them so there's extra meat on the Bones.
