Fresh Beef Back Ribs W/ Meat W/ Qview

[ronp]

Hard to find sometimes are the ribs that haven't been gouged out by some machine and then frozen for a cheap price, I won't even buy them.

I looked in my local Kroger's meat display and saw some fresh ones for 2.99. Nope, anothe dollar I can buy some meat. I wandered over to where they had some gouged out ones for 1.49 and found this.



Not the meatiest I have gotten but they didn't have some machine carving out the meat.


1.49 a pound.



Rubed with yoshidas and garlic and lemon pepper.



Carol asked me to smoke some meatballs for a friend of hers, we had some frozen from Sam's so I tossed them in also.

I am going to smoke the ribs at 250' to see if I can render the fat for 2 hours and go from there.

More to come.

Thanks for watching.

I have rarely seen good beef racks down here. Always seem to opt out for the individually cut ribs. Atleast I can tell when they are meaty.

Looks good so far Ron, can't wait to see the final product!

 

[ronp]

I don't see them here unless they are called short ribs here, and they are very fatty.

Great score Ron! Amazing the price cut due to little differences.
Only smoked beef ribs a few times but they are incredible.
Looking forward to another fine Qview.

So far as the meatballs they really liked them at Carol's work.



I smoked them for about 4 1/2 hours.


I added some Sweet Baby Rays sauce for the last hour.


Sorry for the crummy picture here.

I was only going to eat 2 bones but had 4 instead, they were really good.

Thanks for watching.

Hey Ron,
Great ribs

Meatball question: Were they precooked and you just tossed em on for some smokiness?
Or did you cook them on the smoker?

 

[ronp]

They were frozen pre cooked from Sam's club. I just wanted to add some flavor.
