Thick cut beef ribs on stick burner tomorrow

[motolife313]

Ok so I haven't done thick cut ribs like these the last ones I did hard like no meat on them. Picked these up a Walmart for 4.83 a pound and this rack is 3 3/4 pounds and right at 2" thick. I'm planing on smoking the whole rack together but wondering why people cut them in singles before smoking? I'm going to brine them and my baby back ribs together so smoking beef and pork ribs tomorrow. 195 or maybe less a good temp to take them too? I do my pork ribs to about 190-195. Think the beef ribs will take longer then the back backs?planing on smoking at 200 first couple hours or so then 250

Look like they're pretty meaty. Those will be good. Look forward to seeing the finished product tomorrow.

Dino bones are delicious! I wouldn't cut them apart as they tend to become a bit dry if one is not very careful. I prefer to foil them much like the 3-2-1 method for pork ribs so they retain moisture. Gotta see the Q view when you get them done!

Allot of times they come from the butcher pre-cut. I've never been able to find a full rack of Dino's. Usually either single or two ribs. The last batch I did were cooked the same as brisket. except I added A1 and Worcestershire sauce to to the foil.

Ok good to no I got a place to get them if I need them, one of my butchers has a rack about 3x's as wide as these but are frozen and cost 6.50 or somthing like that a pound. Didn't do the brine, got to tired. I may try a marinade for a couple hours. Be back with some pics soon

I have a rack of beef ribs exactly like that in my freezer right now. Let me know how they turn out. I’ve been waiting for a good time to cook them.

 

[motolife313]

Well not too happy with this deal. Pulled them out to wash them and 2 racks of thin ribs. Looks like mainley fat on the back side. The baby backs are way thicker. Package said money back guarantee so I'll take them back if I'm not happy with them

One reason to cook them individual is to get more seasoning on them. Good thick meaty ribs cut individually are great when smoked hot and fast. 350° pit temp about 45 minutes. Makes a great meat lollipop. It's now my preferred way to cook dino bones.

That makes sense, little extra seasoning never hurts. Where do u get your ribs from?

My best source is at Safeway, one of our local grocery stores. I ask the butcher for "uncut" ribs. They come two full racks to a cryopack. Usually around $6-$8 per pound. I never buy meat from Wackyworld. Any grocery store that doesn't have a butcher isn't a place for me to buy meat.

I actually meant to mention earlier there were 2 smaller racks in that package. That’s why I wanted to know how yours turned out before I dug mine out of the freezer!

I got mine on manager special for $8 but if I was spending $18 for two thin racks I would probably take them back too!

Those beef ribs were good I'm pretty impressed! I'm go ing to try and find some nice think ones.they were a little tough but with a brine next time or cook to higher IT

Cooking with alder cherry oak and apple. Cherry on the left and apple on right

Some how they got to 199 IT by the 3 hour mark. I checked several places and all pretty much the same

Any one had ribs cook this fast? Cooking at 250 and some higher at the end. The baby backs were done right at 3 hours

Those look good. I haven't had ribs cook that quick for me on my other smokers but they are supposed to on the smoker I have now. It runs 275-310.

Thanks , ya kinda weird. Never went over 275 and wasn't hitting bone when probing
