I've picked up a LOT of great info on the forum below. A guy could literally spend days reading on there. They have free memberships and paid memberships. I have the free one but will probably upgrade just as a "thank you" for all the info I've gotten.

Smoked Beef Ribs
Beef ribs are by nature real fatty and the object is to render as much fat as possible. I used to work part time in a smoke house where beef ribs were the house specialty and needless to say I have more than a few racks working there.
The temp we used was 220 - 230 and after a thick coating of your favorite rub, they were smoked for 4 hours with the membrane on. Then we cut the ribs apart but removed the membrane first at this point.
The ribs were sauced and placed in a foil pan, covered and placed back in the smoker for another 2 hours at the same temp, at which time more fat is rendered and the meat steams and tenderizies because of the closed enviornment. This stage is crucial or you end up with fairly fatty, tough ribs. Additional sauce is added before serving.

Again, this recipe is not mine. The guy I got it from was fine with it being shared around, I just don't want to take credit for something that isn't mine. The above is a direct copy/paste from the original forum post that I got the recipe from.
I prefer beef short ribs as opposed to beef spare ribs just because the meat is much thicker. Either way works as well as the other, though.
The only thing I do differently is to remove the membrane before cooking so that I'm not trying to remove it with the ribs already hot. Unfortunately, removing the membrane beforehand is a huge pain in the ass. Removing the membrane from beef ribs is a lot harder than removing the membrane from pork ribs... at least for me it is, anyways.Comment

Suggestions...? Yeah, I have one for you. If what you're doing works for you, keep doing it, even if the so-called "experts" tell you it's wrong. You are the greatest expert of all when it comes to what you and your family like.
I don't even try to measure internal temp on ribs (beef or pork). It's just too hard to get a decent reading. At least for me it is but that's due to the meat being so close to the bone. Boneless ribs would be a lot easier to probe internal temp and if I did cook them to an internal temp, 205 is where I'd go with beef ribs (or pretty much any beef on the smoker).
I've found that following the instructions above, my beef ribs always come out good and as tender as a guy could ever ask for. It sounds like what you're already doing is pretty much the same thing or at least follows the same basic principles. If the foil pan sounds simpler, maybe give it a shot one of these times. Or not. If you're happy with what you have going on now, stick with it.
I'm not at all afraid of hard work when it comes to the smoker but if I can do something in a simpler fashion without compromising the quality of the finished product my old, fat, lazy ass is all for it.Comment

Nottso yeah I cook alot of beer can chickens and usually always have very good results with them. They are so simple. I cook mine on the grille at med-high indirect heat with apple wood for smoke. I cook mine on my grille because I can stoke it up at the end and really get the skin crispy. Mmmm meat potato chips.Comment

Another favorite of mine is the Bacon Explosion which is called a Fattie in some areas. Anybody that hasn't ever done one of these needs to. They are really, really good and damn near mistake proof.

I love grilling out as well, but all of you surpassed me in the meat department, here is my recipe for Italian taters on the grill
4-5 medium to large sized taters
fresh garlic
1 stick of butter
olive oil
salt and pepper
Italian seasoning (the little shaker version you find in stores)
1/2 of miller lite (or whatever you want)
Place the stick of butter on top of some aluminum foil, slice the taters up thin and put over the top of the butter. Put as much or as little as you want of the olive oil on top. season with salt, pepper and the italian seasoning to your preference, cut up https://fishandcaviar.com/product/os...r-pasteurized/ and add the fresh garlic cloves and top it off with some beer. Close it up and let her rip for about 30-40 minutes on the top rack of your grill or until the taters are nice and soft. Enjoy!Comment

Since somebody revived this thread, ran into something I would share. Had this idea for a long time, and was generally met with puzzled looks until I met a truck driver from Alberta, BC, Canada whose family ran a cattle ranch. This is something to do if you are having a LOT of people over or having some kind of a party. Plan on doing this sometime in the near future on a buddies property he just bought in Arizona. This is the directions on roasting a whole cow. You start with a pan or structure for the coals. You lay down a two inch layer of coals, followed by a two inch layer of small, wet, wood, followed by another two inch layer of coals. You build or somehow construct a big ass spit to put the cow onto. You attach a motor to the spit, geared down to rotate the spit at 1.5 revolutions per minute. On top of this, construct a steel hood with holes in it for ventilation. Leave the cow rotating on the spit for ten to fifteen hours, then invite a shitload of friends. The guy who told me about this said they would do this once a year on his cattle ranch in Alberta while the ladies were doing canning. If someone tries this out, let me know how it turns out.Comment

I love taters and this sounds spectacular and easy (I am starving though) Gonna try this one. Keep this shit up guys I know there are recipes everywhere but I would rather try shit that like minded folks who don't keep fresh whatever the fuck, sherry and caviar from https://fishandcaviar.com/product-ca...r/coho-salmon/ in their house. Cooking with beer and aluminum foil? Fuck yeah I got that shit.Comment

Baby Back Ribs
Peel the membrane and rub them with Emeril's.
Smoke them for an hour or so.
Remove, cover with dark brown sugar, wrap with foil and return to smoker to finish.
You can stuff large jalapeno peppers with cream cheese and chopped up bacon, throw those in there, and have them for a side.Comment
