Beef back Ribs on my drum smoker

[farmer-fred]

Figured it was time to show some love to the Trail Embers Drum smoker. Since I bought a pellet pooper it has not got much use. I picked up a couple racks of nice looking beef back ribs from Kroger's a few weeks back and stuck them in the freezer. The wife said she wanted some ribs this weekend so I thought they would be perfect. Here they are getting happy with some kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and some garlic powder. Plan is to smoke them @ 225 to 250 for two hour's or until some pull back then wrap until probe tender. More pics later. The wife is making some of her excellent potato salad and I will probably put a small pot of baked beans in the smoker with the ribs later in the cook.

Good looking beef to start with - looking forward to see the final results.

Got a picture just before I wrapped them. I neglected to get a plated picture we were hungry and couldn't wait. I must say they were fantastic, super tender and juicy. When I wrapped them I added a couple of pats of butter and some beef broth.

Beef and a simple rub. That’s the way I like it.

I would definitely say that you were the envy of the neighborhood, especially with everyone wondering where that amazing smell was coming from. I hope you polished them off before they could find out. Nice looking cook!

Simple flavors and my BBQ favorite. I haven't seen racks like that before though. Guess I'm just ignorant.

Thanks all, Beef back ribs are hard to find around here most of the time. The local Kroger has them occasionally. It is hard to beat the flavor of them if you cook them low and slow. I have done them in my drum cooker as well as the Pellet Pro and they are always good. I was concerned that they would be over smoked this time as the drum just did not want to settle down and it was really rolling smoke but they came out perfect.

Things were looking very good for you. Those were some good looking ribs. When I see them from Walmart they are very shiney
