Well I picked up a couple packages of short ribs at Restaurant Depot and with some advice from RibDog, we'll see how they come out.

Fist of all, a lot of fat on them, ended cutting off almost a pound and a half of fat. Also, it's the strangest fat I've ever seen to date. It cut off in very thin layers, weird.



All trimmed up, rubbed with some Oakridge BBQ Competition Beef & Pork Rub. Going into the smoker at 180 for about 1 hour, then I'll crank it up to 275 for about another 1 1/2 hours. Or until they're done. Looked at Chris Lilly's recipe, but I think I'll skip the braising part and see what the Cookshack can do on it's own. Still have another package if these don't come out tender or moist enough.



2:55 min later I pulled one of the racks at 192, cause we got hungry. Yes, I know... It's done when it's done. That's why I left the second rack in the smoker to go til 200, took another 40 minutes.

First rack, was still just a touch on the chewy side still, but boy were they GOOD! Nice and juicy. Second rack, once it reached 200... YUM!!!!!

Brisket on a stick!
I too got a package of these Choice, Superior Angus beef ribs at RD. A cryovac package of four racks weighing 19 lbs.

I'm going to age them for 2 weeks in the cryovac and then freeze and vacuum seal 3 and try to cook one as good as yours looks.

I was thinking to smoke until IT of 160 then foil to 200 and then separate into ribs, sauce and cook until the sauce sets.

Four racks will give me four cooks to dial it in.(i hope)
Hey guys, when you are referring to aging in the fridge, what exactly do you mean?

Yesterday I purchased an 12 lb brisket and two 4 lb flanks at RD, I put one flank in the freezer, but left 1 flank and the brisket in the fridge. How long can the RD cryo meats stay in the fridge if they are not dated with a use by? I have only aged meat (prime rib roast) out of package in fridge a few years ago. Help!

BTW Andy, those ribs look yummy!!! Loads of meat! Are those garlic slices and olive oil on the asparagus?
