Well, I've been looking at a butcher pack of beef short ribs I had in my freezer all winter, and decided yesterday was the day! They were from a small bull I raised and had slaughtered in the fall. He was a Dexter, so a much smaller animal than most market beef. Here's the ribs ready for the rub.
I had a pot of beans soaking next to them that I canned along with a smoked ham hock during the cook. Gave me something to do and I needed to restock the pantry for upcoming chili smokes! Back to the ribs, I gave 'em a good rubdown with smoking guns next...
Fired up the contraption a half hour or so beforehand, and got her settled in...
I canned my pork hock and beans, and then went outside to tend fire and sit on the heated bench that is a byproduct of firing the smoker...
...and about six hours later, out came these!
In a recent thread, someone mentioned beef short ribs were like mini brisket. Well, I can't argue with that!
Thanks for looking, and thanks everybody for all the great info. I learn so much here. These guys were cooked until a toothpick probed like butter, which I never would have known how to do without you all. Time to fire up the contraption for tonight's smoke!
