Texas Beef Ribs
Let's get grilling
1
Heat the smoker to 285°F and check that the water pan is full.
2
Trim the ribs if needed. Slather the ribs with a very light coating of hot sauce. Apply the rub (equal parts salt and black pepper).
3
Cook the ribs, meat side up, at 285°F, for about 8 to 9 hours. Spritz with water or other liquid during the final 2 to 3 hours. Check for doneness by poking the ribs; when they feel like melted butter (about 203°F between the bones), and serve.

Brisket and Beef Rib Rub Quantity: A rough guideline is that you’ll need about ½ cup (4 ounces) rub, total, for each 12-pound brisket. A 3- to 5-pound rack of beef ribs will require just a bit less rub, maybe 1/3 to ½ cup, total.
