I had picked up a package of beef back ribs during all the grocery runs leading up to Christmas , and I decided to smoke them yesterday. They were a buck 77 per pound which is cheap , but realistically you're paying for a lotta bones.....but I like these. And one of the racks was fairly meaty.

So , I made a batch of meatheads big bad beef rub from the amazing ribs site and I used that on one rack. The other I used A-1 rub which I like.

It was a nice day here in the Boston burbs (about 40 degrees) but it was a little windy so I decided to set up in the garage to be out of the wind.

i used a mix of briquettes and lump this time.....had a lot of tiny pieces in the bottom of that bag of frontier lump I bought a while back. I lined the bottom of the grate with briquettes , threw in a couple chunks of oak for smoke and then poured the lump on. I figured the briqs would keep all the tiny pieces from falling thru the grate.....threw a third of a chimney of lit on top and off we go.


I will post this now since I'm getting typers cramp:p And I will finish this later on......

ok , I cooked these at 250 for about 4 hours..... Here's an action shot for tony....I know there's no flames or anything , but the WSM is kinda low key , action wise....

The smoker cruised at 250 the whole time....

After about 3 hours I foiled these and put them back on for another hour. When I figured they'd had enough heat , I took them in and let them rest for a half hour....

These ribs were fantastic ! Smoky , beefy , meaty , not quite fall off the bone.
both rubs were good , but I still like the A-1 the best. I sauced one rack with open pit(which is sweeties fave) and the other got slapped with some HEB brand beef sauce from Texas and that was very good...had a nice sneaky little burn to it.
and baby Evelyn says happy new year to all you weber nuts.

this is the time of year you'll find them after they trim all the boneless rib roasts they sell for Xmas and new years. It's nice when they leave a little meat on the bones , but they can be hit or miss.
