Creekstone Farms Prime chuck short ribs

[Bob Correll]

Splurged a little for two 4 bone slabs of short ribs. Supposed to be 3 to 4 lbs. each, I didn't weigh them.



Got the little WSM fired up with K Pro and cherry wood, wishing I had some hickory or pecan.



Trimmed and sprinkled with Oakridge Santa Maria rub.



Planned on at least a 5 hour cook, but my nap was longer than normal and my pit temp had climbed to 300F from 250F. Ribs were 200F, so I foiled, and toweled them after 4.5 hours. Dinner was 1.5 hours later.



The corn in the foreground looks even larger than it was, and it was a pretty large ear

.

The ribs were everything I hoped they would be, smokey, tender, juicy, and beefy tasting.



Thanks for the visit, stay safe everyone!

Wow, great cook!

Good thing you didn't tell us about this before you started. You would have had a crow. As it is, I'm about to drive to MO to see if there are any scraps that fell under the deck.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Wow, Looks outstanding Bob! Glad you got to splurge. You deserved it. I'm liking that potato salad too.

 

[J Grotz]

Fantastic looking beef ribs! And I agree with Cliff, that potato salad looks delicious. Care to share the recipe?

 

[Rich Dahl]

So glad to see you back at it Bob. That cook looks absolutely perfect. If my freezers weren't stuffed to the door handles and I could use charcoal I would do the same. But seems kind of self defeating to do those on a gasser.

Awesome SR's Bob!

 

[Michael Richards]

Those look like some beefy goodness. I love the fact that the pit raised high then you original plan and no frit just wrapped and wait until dinner! So many of us lease seasoned pit masters worry about tiny temperature swings.

 

[Ken Barth]

Great looking cook!

Those ribs look perfect! Potato salad one of my favorite BBQ sides to offset richness of the meat.

 

[Peter Gallagher]
