jerseyhunter Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Just did some this morning for lunch. I buy them when on sale or a managers special. Salt, pepper, Garlic Powder. Indirect heat 275* about 3 hrs . Wrapped with foil after 2 1/2 hrs to prevent drying out. Turned grill off and lest rest about an hour while picking 1 every now and then., Wanted to do in the smoker but to much to get done today.

Leeway Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 What you want to find is beef plate ribs. They are the ones that look like dinosaur bones. Your butcher may have to order them for you. Those packer ribs are useless, all the good meat has been removed. Basically uncut short ribs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimW Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Plate ribs are short ribs. They come from the short plate. These usually have 3 bones when see them in the counter and are big ribs. There are also short ribs sometimes called chuck ribs. These come from between the chuck and flank. These usually have 4 bones and have less meat than the plate. I have bought these by mistake thinking I was getting plate ribs. Short ribs have the meat on top of the bones, plate might have 2 inches of meat. What Bob cooked are off the loin rib roast and seem to have some of the rib roast left on them. The beef back ribs I have tried were trimmed tight leaving only the sliver of meat between the bones. I have no idea what packer ribs are.

Leeway Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) What I meant by packer is what he bought, the ones that have been trimmed with just a sliver of meat still attached and in the meat case wrapped like the pork ribs This is what you want Edited August 20, 2017 by Leeway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
