    Dry brined, two seasoned with BBBR and two seasoned with CCC. I figured maybe 6 hours.

    Midway through the cook, they appear to have stalled. Ribs stalling? Weird. I hadn't set up my Fireboard because these are ribs.

    Inside near the bone based on color and texture it was probably close to 135 or 140, not the 200 I was shooting for. Luckily with it being prime, it was tender enough to eat. Also should have trimmed them better, there were some pieces of gristle that could have been removed

    Next time, plan for 12 hours and hold them if they get done early.

    Them puppies take a while. They take reall well to a braise and leave you with a Smokey liquid to work with. 135° works for me in a pinch.

      I am a big fan of braising, but the goal this time was an outdoor smoke.

    What temp were you cooking at? I do the chuck plates all the time (same thing) at 275* and they take about 6 hours with a 1 hour rest. You must have been cooking at a low temp, up your heat next time.

      225. That also occurred to me, hotter fire.

    Checking the price you pay in the US vs Argentina. Heres a vacío (flank steak/beef belly) I purchased today at Walmart. 1 usd = 47 Argentine peso. So I paid about usd $7 for 3.3 lbs . For beef ribs I pay about 1/4 of what you paid for those. Come on down.

      Brazil and Argentina are blessed to be so close to their beef production.  I couldn't believe how affordable beef was at restaurants.

      ​​​​​​​Wish I could get my hands on a cupim.

      Prime is fairly expensive. I didn't necessarily consider it a great deal, just grabbed them on a whim.

    Same price at my Costco in California. I figure about 10 hours on my KBQ set at about 235 average.
