Sick-Day Beef Ribs

[mneeley490]

I've been battling a nasty head cold, and took off the past couple days from work. Feeling a little better today, thanks to my green tea with lemon & honey. But I can see my RecTeq from where my laptop is, and it's been calling me. So I thawed out some beef ribs. Package says spares, but they look more like back ribs to me.
Anyway, I'm trying out a RecTeq guided cook; "3 hours at 250°, then 30 minutes at 375°. Hit with sauce, and go another 5 minutes." No binder, just coated with BBQ Pit Boys "Big Texan" rub. Pellets are a hickory/maple blend, I think. I'm about an hour into phase 1. Temp outside is 49° and rainy. I have a small pan of apple juice for moisture. We'll see how it goes.

Let the RecTeq do the work. Good start on the ribs.

Glad your shaking the January crud. Don't miss the Puget Sound winters.
Ribs are all yours. That is a portion of the beef we just don't like.

Ok, so my first time using the RecTeq guided cook took me a little by surprise. It automatically bumped up the temp for the finish. Didn't see that coming. But overall, a success.

At the 3 hour mark.

And done!

Decent smoke ring.

Plated w/ some au-gratin potatoes.
