Question about smoking prime rib beef rib bones

[devo]

Picked up some prime rib beef rib bones today. Do I do them the same way you would do pork? Do I wait till the meat starts to pull back from the bones or will that be to long. I only take my beef roasts to an IT of 135*F so I don't want to over do these ribs. What guidelines do you guys go by?

Hmmm...  I'm sure it's the bones cut from what would have been a bone-in rib roast...
I wouldn't take a whole rib roast past 125, but for those, I dunno.

Might cut a couple of tester bones off and try cooking to a low IT and see how it is?
If it ain't no good, cook the rest like spare ribs?

Low and slow for dino bones (beef ribs) works very well, whether on the grill or in the smoker - renders some of the fat, tenderizes the meat, etc.  If smoking first, however, I still like to finish on grill to add a bit of "glaze."  These were done solely on my Char Broil RED (infrared grill) with chips and at low temp.  Never did check the IT; they were done when they were done.



OBTW, since I used a Cajun rub, I called them dineaux beaunz

Thanks for the input. Low & slow it is. They are in the bradley now. Dusted them last night with a simply salt and pepper with some Montreal steak spice. Going to foil them with the butter, brown sugar and honey that I have seen posted lately. Will post some pics later.
Thanks

Looking forward to the results. I did them once in the OBS but I don't think they had near the amount of meat that Ka Honu's has in his pics. I think mine came from one of those anorexic Calif. cows :(

... don't think they had near the amount of meat that Ka Honu's has ...

I've never bought "just bones."  I'll occasionally buy a full rib roast and break it down into ribeye steaks and ribs.

OK this is where we are at
All spiced up


In the smoker


The peanut gallery enjoying the hot tub


To hot in the hot tub and off to the pool


So why are you putting that stuff on the ribs???
Garlic butter, brown sugar and honey




Oh I see......back into the pool



More to come

Damn those ribs look good. I have never bought them cause I wasn't sure how to do them. Kind of dumb when I belong to this forum. A guy should never sweat cooking anything. Someone knows how to cook it.

Those beef ribs look great Devo.  Nice job.

[squirtthecat]

I see these at Wally Mart all the time...  I really need to try them.

[ghost9mm]

Nice job devo...the ribs look real good and my wife likes your pool...lol

[OU812]

Nice lookin beef ribs.

The ones I see around here are all bone.

OK, your son was happy but what did you think of how that turned out? I'm sure they were good, they look like it.
