I've been looking for dino ribs in my area since a trip to Pecan Lodge in Deep Ellum Dallas Texas 4 years ago.  It was the best bite of BBQ I've ever had.   In honor of my new pit I went down to my butcher willing to pay any price for custom cut ribs.  To my surprise I found that my butcher recently started carrying them on weekends.  No talk of plate ribs or beef ribs, these were labeled DINO RIBS.   $5.98 a lb, I got the thickest two racks.  4 bone each.   These are going to go into my regular rotation! 

This was my first attempt at dino ribs.   Molasses glue, 1/4 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup coarse ground pepper, tablespoon smoked paprika and onion powder, dash of cumin.  Probably classified as a dirty dalmatian. 

I started out a little low and I ended up having to rush.   I checked the interwebs and PH and it seems consensus is closer to 275 for 7 or more hours.   Over 200 degrees for probe tender. 

These were a very solid B+.   I cannot wait to try again without rushing to serve for dinner.

Those look excellent, that is one cut I always look for and virtually never have any luck finding.
I would have jumped all over those.

Ok DK, where did you find them?  Been looking for them myself.

I may have to get me some.  There is a new meat market in my area called Whiskey Ridge Cattle Company.  They specialize in grass and grain fed plus Wagyu.  There prices are higher, but this may be my only way to Dino ribs.

You can find whole short ribs at Sam's Club. Here is a cook I did. https://pelletfan.com/index.php?topic=405.0

Butcher Boys Vancouver Washington.  Didn't want to come off as promoting a specific outlet.    And I'm a little tentative on all the other Pelletheads in the area using my "source"   

triplebq has the better suggestion of Sams (which we don't have here).

2,453 miles from Westerville to Vancouver.   Frankly it's probably worth the trip, but I'm sure you'll find a solution closer.

Costco also has them. I smoked for 8 hours at 225. Then one hour at 275.  No wrap. I only sprayed with Apple juice to kept the surface moist.

"Dino Ribs" ?  please explain.

Gosh those look great.  The only ones I can find are anemic at best..  last week I stumbled upon a butcher that sells meats from his own farm.. I ordered some beef ribs for the weekend after the 4th. I hope mine turn out as good as yours.

Look great and now I am hungry

They're talking about beef plate ribs which have a lot of meat on them, as compared to back ribs, or finger ribs, which are also tasty but have very little meat on them.

I have to find some now. They look so good!
