Show me the beef!

[ThePerfectBeard]

Here's my first attempt at beef ribs. Certified angus beef on an WSM, never wrapped.

In Progress:



Done:



Smoke Ring:



These ribs were absolutely extraordinary! I'm starting to think running the WSM dry without wrapping is the way to go. I'm doing a brisket next week and I don't think I'm going to wrap it at all. I mean I've never got a smoke ring like this and they were still so moist.

Look good to me.

I got a rack of those I need to cook before it turns nasty cold.

Was there that much bone exposed when you started? Or is that where it ended up at?

No bone exposed at all. Really impressed with the cut. Have a look:

Interesting - looks fantastic. Beef ribs are on my to-do list, since I've never cooked 'em before. If my results are anywhere near yours, I'll be a happy man!

Good cook they look perfect!

Looks great. What temp and for how long?

225 and about 8-9 hours. Internal was around 200. Probably could have gone to 203 as people recommend, but I doubt there would have been a huge difference. They were ridiculously tender.

Beautifully done, Mr. Beard. Look very good.
I am a non-wrapper too.

Great looking beef ribs! Great bark!

 

[tulocay]

those look fantastic

Looks great. Mine take about 6 hours at 270*ish. Probe between the bones, pull them when tender...

 

[daninnewjersey]

They look killer especially for a first attempt

 

[IamMadMan]

Awesome ribs, love the smoke ring as well.

 

[Nvoges]

Man those look great. I don't know that there is anything more delectable when done right.

 

[Sean "Puffy" Coals]

Looks great! I love beef ribs, too. Just wish they didn't shrink down so much...

 

[THoey1963]

While the meat appears to shrink down the bone, doesn't the meat also appear to get thicker? That has been my assumption / thought. Either way, I have a hard time eating two beef bones as it is a lot of meat.

Disclaimer: I buy the Beef Short Rib Plates, not the back bones...
