Dry rubbed and 6 hours of smoke at 225-250° followed by 375° for 2 hours wrapped and a 1 hour rest. Just this side of falling off the bone.

My drum smoker wasn’t big enough for the rack so I jury rigged a high shelf in my gas grill and used a smoke box for heat and smoke.

In a first for me I was able to maintain a sustained burn of hickory wood chips over 6 hours after starting with a handful of hardwood briquettes. Would have gone longer but I ran out of wood chips.

Thought I’d need the gas but turned it off almost immediately because it was too hot.

It’s a homemade Garlic dressing to make it heart healthy BTW.

Thanks for all the tips on this sub. My smoking game has taken a step up from what I’ve learned here.

    I would say it’s the other way around. Beef ribs makes salad somewhat healthy

  2. toomuchgear

    What in the world would make you think beef ribs are not healthy? Protein and fat are dietary requirements.

  3. Trekkie1701D

    See my take is, beef is basically concentrated veggies. I mean the cow does nothing but eat grass, hay, clover etc sooo do you even need the salad?

  4. Wish_you_were_there

    Not when the salad is 50 % dressing.

  5. Just-Shoe2689

    only if you drink a gallon of ranch with it.

  6. gooseman_96

    That looks fantastic. Cheers from Omaha.

    Of course it is’ it’s a salad isn’t it?

  8. Moo moo grew up on salads. You grew up on moo moo.

    I would have the biggest unnecessary conniption if that rabbit food touched my delicious plate of ribs.

  10. jfbincostarica

    Odd statement…Ribs are healthy already.

  11. 4quadrapeds

    Since when are beef ribs NOT healthy?? If it’s a cheap salad dressing that would be the unhealthy thing.

  12. Appropriate-Sun834

    Are beef ribs unhealthy or something?

  13. Far-Baseball1481

    If by salad you mean mayo garnished with whatever that is –

    Who cares it’s beef ribs

  14. Far-Baseball1481

    People sleep on good quality, local, seasonal greens with some vinaigrette. Make it yourself. “Dress the bowl” and toss the greens etc in it. Boom. Healthy. Zen. Namaste bitches.

  15. Daddy_Day_Trader1303

    I bet that salad has more unhealthy calories than the ribs

  16. wheelsonhell

    The ribs are healthier than that salad with all that dressing. Part of eating healthier is definitely learning what is and isn’t good for you.

  17. CthulusLittleAngel

    Yes it does. Same as how coleslaw makes a pulled pork sammich healthy

  18. No_External196

    What are you talking about, Beef ribs ARE healthy!

  19. Big_Homie_Rich

    Might as well say that’s a candied salad 🤣

  20. waggletons

    The more dressing and cheese you add, the healthier it becomes.

  21. Pure-Ice5527

    Oh god yeah, you don’t even need to eat the salad.. it just needs to be there 😂

  22. Beef is healthy tho. One of the healthiest foods lol

  23. Lurcher99

    Apple cider vinegar slaw needed to cut the fat.

  24. MarxismCanSMD

    Unironically yes. It’s called fiber 🙂

  25. not_ur_avg_nerd

    Yes, when it’s tossed in the trash.

  26. MPRESive2

    I don’t understand why beef ribs are always dry rubbed and fried pork ribs are always wet!!

  27. Easy-Nerve-3995

    Hell no not with that nasty dressing

  28. I dunno which has more calories, the dressing soup or the beef ribs.

  29. Sweet-Chicken-9498

    Nope, throw away the salad with the seed oil dressing! The meat is healthy…millions of carnivore diet eaters can vouch for it now, and in the past, we were all carnivores for the most part, especially in the colder parts where agriculture is not suitable. Meat = Healthy!!

  30. lordvaderkush6996

    Yes especially if you slather the salad in a mayo based dressing

  31. Unusual_Oil_4632

    Beef ribs are healthier than that drowned in dressing salad

  32. BopDonald

    I like salad too, though. I make my dressing with homemade yogurt or kefir.

  33. AtomicJazzer

    That’s funny as it almost looks like my mom’s sour cream salad dressing. She grew up in some some little country in Europe before WW2 and we never had those American salad dressings in our house. Its half the calories and has way fewer ingredients than American ranch. It’s really good and you should try it. Here’s the recipe: add 1-2 TBS sour cream to bowl of salad, sprinkle some salt, dill if you have it, and mix. If you really want to go crazy, just go with sliced cucumbers instead of salad.
