Easy Beef Ribs

It's not very often I come across a rack of beef ribs that look like this;

...so with a small amount of trimming and some of Meatheads Big Bad Beef Rub, a couple of hours in the fridge we have them ready for the kettle with a few pieces of Oak for smoke.

During the prep the wife invites company for supper. They hear the kettle is at work and want to contribute a small prime rib.
The stage is set for an indirect two tier cook.

Some hitchhikers along the way; carrots with butter and parsley in a CI serving dish, two Vidalia onions with sage & butter and two sweet taters.



Six hours later the ribs were done. The company can have the rest .:)
 
Those are some meaty beef ribs! Tough to find good ones like that any more. I am gonna go out on a limb and say that I like beef ribs more than pork ribs!
 
Ohh my! Looks awesome...
Let me tell ya a secret..I never had beef ribs. I always drool over the pic´s around here. They are just not sold over here. Think i have to visit my "go to butcher" and show him a pic from your post! Killer bones
 
Thanks guys.
Some people find them too fatty, they are rich but these were the best I have ever done and as the BBQ Pit Boys say "and with the miracle of time" they cooked up perfectly.
 
Love beef ribs ! Those look really nice. It is wicked hard to find decent beef ribs at the supermarket . Nice job.
 
Thanks guys.

Awesome display of ribs, i almost forgot how did the prime rib turnout, lol. Gary beef spare ribs are only fatty if not cooked properly, i can see you do not have this problem my friend. And imho beef ribs are the king of ribs.

How did the 26er perform?

Thanks Noe. I took the Prime rib off at 140...settle for. If it was the feature I would have done a reverse sear at 120 but having everything done at the same time was more important.

With my set up the 26 went three hours before I added some fuel. I almost always cook indirect and now I have added the element of cross flow. It's working well Noe.
 
Great Ribs! wow. I've been struggling with the supermarket cryovac beef ribs and telling myself 'at least their cheap.' I'm inspired to go get some from the butcher.

Same here. I was in another city passing through and this shop is 3 generations old, an Italian family I knew from years ago, great meat products. We dropped $350.00 that day, got a cooler and drove home, 3 hours. There are smaller places we just have to be motivated to find them. :)
