Ribs 2 ways (Spares and Shorties) with Pron

I cooked for my nephew's 12th birthday party today. The kid requested this. He has good taste!

This is the offset pit I built about 10 years ago. Still going strong.


This is my first attempt at beef short ribs. Thanks to the Brethren for all the help in figuring out how to cook these. I'm using a rub of salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.


I had some room left on the pit so I made 6 slabs of spares as well.


The pit was full!


I cooked the whole mess at about 250F-275F till a probe went straight through the short ribs with almost no resistance. They went about 6 hours. They were very tender and delicious!


I served the shorts with no sauce, but provided some to put on as desired. I used a mix of about 3/4 Blues Hog to 1/4 A1. It actually was pretty good!


Thanks again for all the help! It turned out great!

Really Nice! Would that feed 40 -50 people? Or 30-40?

Yeah probably. It really fed 14 adults and about 7 kids and 2 dogs with about half of it left over.
