Beef back ribs.

koko1 · 02-10-2013, 12:18 PM

Doing some beef back ribs for the 1st time. Planning on a 2.5/1.5/1 type cook for a total if 5 hours at 225-250. Anyone got any opinions on those times? Of course I will check and modify at each step.

Holding strong around 225 for almost 2 hours.

Stupid me ran out of foil so I am doing one in foil and will spirit the others with some apple juice every 30 min or so. Have never cooked ribs without foil, have always wanted to but never wanted to experiment because most of the time I am cooking for guest and know the foil method works.

At the 2.5 he mark

Foiling one rack

I used foil once and it was a pita

I cook beef backs at 250F for about 2 1/2 hours then foil until done, about another 2 1/2 hours.
Yours look good so far!

Thanks crazy and bob.

This is at the 4 hr mark.

Back ones are foiled and were way to tender. They may need the full 1 hour.

Dinner is served. 1st time with beef ribs. Pretty good. Still prefer pork but good for a change every once in a while. Also liked the foiled better. Wife did also.
