My first over nighter

Had a blast doing this. My buddy flew in from up North and we fired up the smoker around 10PM on Friday night. By the next morning she was just cruising...

We used a copy cat "eastern cattle rub" with cocoa and coffee grounds. Very very unique and tasty.
Then we tucked in some short ribs with a beef rub recipe from the main page

Beef Short ribs done. I have to say this was my first attempt and oh man were they good.

Not much of a smoke ring though? But it tasted great. The smoke ring missing from the top of this picture turned into our attempt at burnt ends. and the smoke ring on the bottom was about 1/8" thick.

Pre burnt ends. Some of them turned out okay and others were way too fatty. Makes me wonder if I should have trimmed more?

There are no plated pics...mostly because there was no plate! We just kept picking. We eventually started dipping the brisket in BBQ sauce but it didn't need it.
 
I wasn't allowed to play with fire on my first over nighter...parents said I wasn't old enough yet.

Jokes aside, the beef looks very juicy and tasty! How was your temp throughout the night?
 
Brisket looks good to me - if it tasted spot on who cares about the smoke ring... hehe.. Now about those short ribs... how long where they on, all night as well? did they need that much time? I haven't done them before - but have done beef back ribs and they only really needed about 4 hrs or so.
 
Nice cook Chris!!! Looks good to me... My first overnight cook I was waking up every 3 hours to check...
 
Thanks all.

I am not sure of the temperature through the night. I went to bed in an IPA induced coma but snapped awake at 5am and she was hovering around 275

As to the short ribs. 4 hours and done. I heard 4-6 hours was the right time but we did a taster at the 4 hour mark and they were perfect.
