Smoking beef ribs: What's fave cut?

Dino. If you have a local butcher available they may carry them. I've had the Creekstone chucks too and they are great. Or just make a run to HEB in Texas. The ones I got there were excellent.

I’ve had no problem finding the plate ribs from my local butch. I’ve cooked both together and split apart. The cooking time in my smoker is about the same as full spare ribs but since the beef ribs can benefit from a long hold, I would start those first.

My two cents.

Thanks much Rob,

You mentioned a long hold. I’ve heard those huge 3 bone brontosaurus ribs called brisket on a stick many times. If I’m not mistaken, they’re taken from the same general area.

We know how much brisket benefits from a long hold. I proved it to myself last week w/ an 18 hour hold. They were amazing. Would you guess that these beef ribs would benefit from an extended long hold similar to brisket?

How about pork ribsSt Louis style pork ribs, do they benefit from a long hold? I don’t mean 18 hours, but 4-6? My oven had a warming setting and can hold temp steady at 150.

Your thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
JD
