Question for the brethren:

I've cooked short-ribs several times, but always a full 3 rib plate. I'm planning on serving them as part of a multi-course meal coming up, so I'm going to have the butcher cut them in half for smaller portions.

How does this affect the cook time? Am I still going to be looking at 6-8 hours at 285 depending on the thickness of the rib or will it be shorter?

Thanks in advance for your insights!
 
In my experience, having them cut smaller does reduce cook time a bit. I actually love smoking individually cut short ribs! You get 360 degrees of bark :eusa_clap and reduced cooking times. As far as how much it will reduce your times...that's always hard to say. I'd guess maybe an hour or two? I've had singles done in anywhere from 5-7 hours.
