Picked up some short ribs at sams today. Planing on rubbing down with Worcestershire and coating with SPOG before going on the smoker . any other thoughts or ideas?? Probably doing one of the sections next weekend .

Thanks Bear. Ive done a few cut from prime rib following your instructions and they were fantastic! I was not sure if these short ribs would be the same or not.

I would do any kind of Beef Ribs that way.
However there are other ways too.

I love just SPOG and once you get a little slurry from the salt going I hit it with a fine dusting of espresso powder. I keep a bag of Bustelo espresso grind in my spice cupboard just for that. Adds a nice earthy dimension. No actual coffee taste

Jeff thanks, I like this idea. I'm not a coffee drinker but man coffee flavors really compliment beef.

Hell Yeah! Those look to be Plate Short Ribs, I'll be watching!

Trim the fat cap down to the meat.
SPOG for rub, heavy on the salt and let the salt brine into the meat.
Cook over oak, hickory, mesquite or some combo of two of'em.
Cook at 275°-300° till tender at an IT of 200°-210°.
Higher IT will render more fat and just increase the flavor, I often say I wish I'd let'em go a little longer.

Thanks chile! Right now Ive got some hickory,mesquite and some cherry. I'll keep ya posted
 
2:1 ratio of Hickory to Mesquite, some great smoke flavor on that beef.
Perfect. Thats what I'll shoot for. Last few times ive done beef I did straight hickory and felt it was lacking. I have a hard time getting oak chunks around here.
 
I was going to say oak and mesquite , but if you can't get oak ,,,
For sure mesquite .

I'll take a look around this week and see what I can find. This time of year is horible trying to get anything. All the stores think smoking and grilling season ends after July 4th and its time to roll in the Halloween stuff lol!
