First crack at beef ribs - advice?

[PeterD]

Howdy all,

This Saturday I'm planning to do my first-ever beef ribs (that is, if my butcher can get them in in time). So far, all I've ever Q'd have been pork back ribs. I realize the cook time will be considerably longer, but are there any tips, tricks, gotchas or pitfalls I should be aware of?

I'll also be using Royal Oak lump for the first time as well.

Thanks in advance!

Actually beef ribs cook pretty quick, also depends on how much meat was left on. Mine take right between 4-5 hrs with a 250º lid temp. Here' a cook for you to look at. Larry's Beef Ribs
