Well,most folks seem to braise short ribs.

Ribdog cooks them,but he may not be by today.

Jack McDavid,a fine bbq comp cook when he isn't carryin' Bobby Flake,offers this from the Food Network.

Probably from his American restaurant? in Philly?

Myron,

First off, watch your language here on the forum. We don't use "ill****" in talking about the FEC.

Second, while Jack's recipe looks good, I would suggest you use some time in a pan with a braising liquid to get the tenderness you require on short ribs. Do a small test run with Jack's recipe but instead of mopping during the last hour, put the short ribs in an aluminum pan, pour the mop over them, foil the pan and put it back in the smoker. Those should be some tasty short ribs!

Thanks everyone for the help. I found what I needed.
