beef ribs (back) i have done in the past.
I like to use a steak seasoning for beef ribs (back or short). so use what you like on steak. Salt pepper onion garlic works well or i like something like a Montreal or Chicago seasoning. i usually put them in the hottest part of my
smokerrun around 275-300 at that part of the smoker and smoke them unwrapped for about 3.5-4 hours at those temps. i don't cook to temp i cook till they look and feel done. about 190 degree IT someone mentioned is a good temp for them. if its back ribs or a short plate make sure to temp between the bones. if you want to braise the above mentioned liquid recipe would work well and add a nice rich beefy flavor. (just not something i do)
