Ribs off a Prime Rib - how to?

[sandyut]

I have three beef ribs (not separated) that I cut off a prime rib a bit ago. these are not super meaty like dino ribs. I read these would be good to save and smoke...

Any tips from those who have done this? I cant see these taking more than 6 or so hours at 250?? just not that thick.

thoughts and advice is appreciated thanks

I did just what you're looking for last week Sandy, 6 hours @ 250º be about right. RAY

Fished a three pack of beef ribs from the freezer that I cut out from a whole prime roast last Xmas and let them thaw slow in the fridge all week. Set up the Slow-n-Sear in the Weber with briquettes and applewood chunks, coated the rack with SPOG, and got things going about 10:15 yesterday...

What you have are beef back ribs, comparable to baby back ribs on a hog. You are right about not being very meaty, but they take time to cook tender. I smoke them 3 or 4 hours until they get good color, then wrap with some beefy broth for about an hour or so, meat side down in the foil. You want to see some pull-back and the meat should probe tender with a toothpick. Then turn them over in the foil and set the open pouch back on to the grate to re-set the bark.
