Beef ribs

[briancc]

Could anyone give me an estimate of cooking time for individual 1 lb beef ribs (probably 8 total) at 225 to 250 degrees on the Karubecue?

it will take approx. 7 hours. If you wrap, which I suggest, might take a 1 hour or 2 off. Just make sure you get the IT to 208.

I just did a set this past weekend. I did 8 ribs. They were separated individually from the butcher. Mine took 6 hours to reach 203 and tender. I smoked at 225-235 on my kettle with the SnS. https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...ibs-on-the-sns

6 to 7 depending on size, I always wrap! Beef ribs are my favourite!

I agree with the 6-7 hours but I never wrap, I want maximum bark. If you start out low and slow, typically toward the end I raise the temp to power through any stall. The bark is already formed and the smoking is done anyway. Here are some I did recently....

LOL Troutman spot the difference!

I'd eat those

I'd be willing to make a sacrifice to settle this... I'll eat a plate full of each and let you know. 😋

BBQ_Steve-O so selfless! An example to us all! 😂

KBQ should cut an hour off the time due to convection. If you're not using kiln-dried wood, you should have plenty of moisture, so wouldn't really need to wrap.

My experience has been that once you start smelling the meat outside the cabinet, you're either done, or very close to it.

Ahh the old smell test....does that go hand-in-hand with the Pavlovian drool test ?

[EdF]

I dunno', but surprisingly it seems to work!

[hogdog6]

It is a crazy phenomenon with the KBQ. EdF is absolutely correct!

Thanks for the responses. Hoping to try the rib cook this weekend.
