Greetings meat friends -
I am planning on doing some big beef ribs on the smoker for the Game of Thrones premiere. I have a couple questions and hope you guys can help.
1. I am having a very difficult time finding the big plate ribs online. I may be able to get some from my butcher but I think for the most part they get sent to restaurants. I found these, described as chuck ribs, which look like a good alternative. Any opinions on cooking with chuck ribs versus the plate? Is it just a matter of size or is there a quality/taste difference?

2. I'm curious about going SVQ on these. As a general matter I don't love steaks sous vide. There is something about letting the meat cook in air via reverse sear that produces a better texture and taste (in my opinion). However, I can see the benefit of going sous vide on these ribs to increase tenderness before chilling and then smoking. For those who have done both, is there a clear winner between traditional smoking versus SVQ, or is it just a matter of preference?
Thanks all.
