My local market has been carrying some pretty decent beef back ribs lately, at least decent compared to what you normally find.
A while back I used the 3-2-1 method for the first time and it worked pretty well. The only problem is that I hit my final temperature after phase 2 and had to cut phase 3 short.
I decided to give it a try again. I was cooking in the 220 to 230 range. This time I wrapped after 2 1/2 hours. Surprisingly, I hit a stall after wrapping. At least that is what my probes were telling me.
I extended phase 2 to 3 1/2 hours and then phase three to 1 1/4 hours. I was still showing a little short on temperature when I probed, but I felt they were done.
I added sauce and seared on my Weber Q2200 gas grill at 550 F for about a minute on each side. They turned out really good. I think I will continue to use this method. It is pretty fool proof as long as you make adjustments as you go.
I did this cook before Hurricane Hilary. I did not have time to reduce the picture sizes until now.

They look delicious!! Hope all is well with y'all during the storm.

wow those look great. Normally I don't get the beef back ribs from Albertsons/Safeway as there's no meat on them! I go get the dino ribs from the butcher when I want beef ribs. I'll have to take a second look at Safeway this weekend as I did note they were on sale, didn't bother to inspect them based on previous failures.

My experience, too. It's difficult to find beef ribs with meat adequate for BBQ. I have the butcher saw the ones I buy into three-inch pieces and I boil them for vegetable beef soup.

These were from Albertson's. They have had quite a lot of beef ribs lately. These were in a vacuum pack, but they have also had them in butcher packs.
Some are meatier than these, but these were pretty good. Not the type that only has a small amount of meat between the bones.
I did my previous two batches in a Crock Pot. While I like the convenience, they did not come out with the texture I was looking for.

I have looked at these several times at Walmart, but there were more bones than meat on them.

I'm still working on Dino (plate I believe) ribs. I had them in Dallas, Pecan Lodge. Best single bite of BBQ I've ever had. Haven't quite been able to replicate at home. Still a great meal. You inspired me to head down the the butcher last week.
$9.98 a lb. about 4.5 lbs.

Couple of shiners, but for the most part, good looking ribs. RD used to have a great Superior Choice beef rib.

"Shiners", Bentley? What's a shiner?

The bones through the meat before cooking, is what I have always been told.

I like the ribs with a couple of inches of meat on top, but they are very expensive difficult to find. Finding beef back ribs with a reasonable amount of meat on them is a decent substitute, even when they have a few shiners.
I have had racks before that were all shiners. I quit trying to make those work.

Sam's Club has dinosaur ribs by the case, but they are $7.28/lb and approximately $530 a case.

I like to buy a Bone on Rib Roast and cut my own.

I like to eat the ribs when I make a rib roast.

I have bought from creekside farms a couple of times. Always had great ribs. They were great, but only bought when they were on sale like now. Recent reviews indicate they have started cutting the ribs like everyone else and are no longer something to spring the big bucks for.
