Father's Day forecast was rain all day So we decided to do our big weekend dinner on Saturday. With all the chatter about Short Ribs I decided to smoke 2 plates on my 18.5 WSM.
I was very impressed with the marbling throughout the ribs. I added a generous coating of Salt and Pepper and they were ready for the smoker.
They went on the smoker at 7:15 am, set the Billows for 250 and settled in for a 10 hour smoke.
After 5 hours I checked and gave them a spritz hoping that they were through the stall. Unfortunately for me I was not the ribs bounced between 150 and 160 for about another 2 hours and finally reaching 180 around 3:15 pm.
At this point I had about 2 hours to the point I wanted to take them off. I added a half chimney of lit charcoal and upped the Billows to 275. The ribs hit 200 right at 5:00 pm. and I think for the first time ever on schedule. I tented with foil and tea towels and put the ribs in a cooler for an hour. Took them out at 6:00 pm for dinner cut one plate off the bones (with does not like caveman style) and the second plate I just separated the bones.
Just enough leftovers for me the next day.
Happy Fathers Day to All.
