First time smoking beef short ribs. Thinking salt, pepper, garlic powder. Planning on 5-6 hours at 250- 275. Does this seem right to you guys? Any suggestions?

I say cook to probe tender. I tossed time and time out the window long ago. Well, except for poultry.

"Probe Tender" - same probe tender as I use for a Brisket?

sounds like a solid plan, just start checking for probe tender around the 4 hour mark and go from there.

Beef ribs have a good amount of fat in them so I always trim off the extra. And there is a membrane on them like pork ribs so I take that off too. Some people don't. It's just a matter of preference.

After 2 hours and 45 minutes, I spritz with Apple Cider Vinegar and threw on some chicken wings.
