I'm going to be smoking beef short ribs tomorrow for the first time. They are certified angus, but choice not prime. Do I treat them any differently than a choice brisket?

Treat them exactly the same. 275 cooking temperature. I like to do them in 2 bones sections. You are in for a treat. CAB is a great choice for meat.

Good advice above. I would add probe them for tenderness just like a brisket, when you get up to the 200* threshold. Rest them in a warm oven or a cambro for an hour or two before serving.
fairly easy cook, fantastic result !! Good luck !!

Treat similar to a brisket, but cut the amount of salt you dry brine with in half. Skip the injection, and either hit with a jaccard meat tenderizer after hitting it with the salt. If you don't have one, go O. J. Simpson on it with a forkform the same kind of effect. Leave the membrane on. I use my brisket rub, and hot sauce as a binder. Smoke at 225° for about 3 hours over Oak with a little mesquite mixed in. Then I crutch with foil always on beef ribs for about 3 more hours. At this point they should be probe tender. There are actually TWO membranes on beef ribs, the one on the back, and one halfway through the meat. Probe all the way through the ribs to be sure the inner one is not still like dental floss. Once tender, open foil meat side up and smoke uncovered until bark has tightened up. Once tight, pull rest and then serve. Beef ribs are kinda my thing. Save the drippings to make either brisket injection, or Texas style BBQ sauce with. Two pointers; crutch at 3 hours only if you are happy with the bark both color and texture wise. Also if not tender wrap back up and keep cooking crutches until it is. Times are approximate, your agricultural product may vary.

Our local grocery store cuts them down to individual ribs. I find they have enough meat on each rib that they can be probed. In my experiences with them, when cut individually like that, no need to wrap. By the time they've developed good bark they have hit 200+ internal and it only takes 5-6 hours at around 240 or so.
Short ribs are a true delicacy. They are so succulent.
