which do you smoke...beef back or short ribs?

[dano]

Wondering which one you like to smoke and why?

Beef short ribs... much meatier and cook a lot like brisket. I like beef back ribs too, but there is no comparison.

B oth Beause I like the taste Depends what I am in the mood for

I prefer short ribs. They are super meaty and the flavor is brisket on a stick.

I have smoked beef back ribs twice. I wasn't happy each time because there was so little meat on the bones.

My vote is for short ribs but either one can be really good

Shorties, no question. If I see a good meaty rack of back ribs I'll snag 'em but that's a very rare occurrence. Short ribs are my favorite cut of beef these days.

Both

Beef back hanging in the Pit Barrel Cooker most of the time going forward. Took me 6 hours to probe tender on these super meaty short ribs yesterday. Both are awesome. Just takes a rack of beef to make a meal. 2'45" tops on Dino bones hanging in PBC.

Short Ribs. So good...

Short ribs for sure. I want a nice payoff...and a decent amount of meat...for all the time involved...

Shortys - Same reasons as above, plus they're really good value for money over here!

Yes, short ribs for sure. You get a lot of meat and it's super flavorful and juicy.
