I might have asked before. I have done a lot of pork ribs on my smoker. The wife prefers them so... Today I bought some really good beef back ribs. Grown right here where I live. What have you guys found to be a good method? mtmuley
Beef ribs

I used the sous vide once for them. Unreal. Pretty long soak IIRC, like 18hrs or something to get them good and tender. Was fall off the bone after a trip to the grill to caramelize some BBQ sauce.
Got seriously ill the one time I tried a chicken in a smoker, so no experience with ribs in a smoker.

This book has been pretty good for temps and times.

Day 5 in Mexico. Copious amounts of tequila....just in case something is undercooked.
So far so good.

Keep the rub simple salt, pepper, and garlic. Low smoke 200-220 degrees with oak, mesquite, or hickory until the ribs get dark enough or hit 160-170 internal temp. Then wrap I prefer paper but foil works too and continue cooking till they hit at least 196 internal temp. You're really looking more for a specific feel then temp that fine line where there tender but not quite fall off the bone. Some guys also use a spritz during the first part of the smoke applying every hour or so. A basic mix is apple cider vinegar, water, beer, and Worcestershire sauce but there's a ton of different options.

Beef ribs and brisket admittedly frustrate me.

It's a love-hate relationship.
I want to figure it out. Pork is great, but I really like good beef. mtmuley

What Will said. No such thing as too much black pepper on beef ribs.
I use coke, ACV, and Worcestershire sauce to spray.

Since it is Father's Day tomorrow I get to do the beef. Thanks guys. Keep the advice coming. mtmuley

Will pretty much nailed it imo. Keep it simple and slow.

Wifey asked me what I want for dinner tomorrow - so I’m smoking my elk roast.
Yesssss. mtmuley
Curious what temp and how long? I’ve only slow cooked and braised a low fat game roast.
And they still let you live where you do?
