Bar-A-BBQ Style Beef Ribs On A Pellet Smoker? | Ballistic BBQ

In this video, I'm cooking up two racks of beef short ribs using the lonestargrillz.com/collection... LSG Pellet Smoker. I followed the technique used by Cooper at Bar-A-BBQ in Montgomery, Texas. Inspiration came from Eat More Vegan's Video: • I Got Schooled by The ... .

I have cooked these many time and they come out just like yours. The price is so absorbent now. Doubled in 6 months. Great video 😊

[@anthonyward4654]

Al is a straight shooter. Thanks for giving him some credit.

[@dennis9358]

what you got were chuck short ribs which are slightly smaller and are 4 bones...Bar A BBQ used Plate Short ribs which are around 12'' in length and 3 bones...

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yes, Creekstone Farms didn't have any options for their beef ribs, just "Short Ribs." Im wishing I would have just went to my butcher... Woulda' saved a few bucks as well.

[@marijnl]

What you did is exactly what I would have done. I am glad you take us on your own learning and trying journey. The outcome is only limited by your skill (and you did fantastic) not necessarily by that exact butcher. There are fantastic butchers everywhere. I also want to add I love BBQ, but I am glad you don't feel the need to bash on vegans, that seems unnecessary to be honest :-) ​@@BallisticBBQ

[@giovannipisano1906]

Yup! That's how I do all of my brisket cooks.

[@fatzoe123]

Always amazed at how you manage to do these cooks and show someone like me those tips and tricks to make the end result better -- great vid

[@troybowen3024]

Look At That Bark On Them Ribs Mouth Watering

[@rhinomechanics8423]

As always Greg, Great entertaining video. Keep 'em coming.

[@leedoss6905]

Cold smoking is around 60 to 70 degrees F or even less. It's for cured meat like bacon salami salted fish and ham in a smokehouse not fresh meat. But the ribs look fantastic.❤

[@nicolasjoseph9446]

I'm craving me sum beef anything right now! Right on!

[@jonathansongco4302]

Awesome!

[@EatMoreVegans]

You did a great job with it! Thanks for the shoutout too!

[@anatoliolombardi6030]

That smoke ring was off the charts! Ribs were very fatty.

[@mikecitizen2125]

Creekstone will only sell 4 bone short ribs to the average consumer. I believe they keep the bigger ribs for the businesses. I stop buying my ribs from them. I only by 3 bone beef ribs from 44 farms or Chatel farms. 44 steaks are Angus and Chatel is Akaushi Wagyu. Great video!

[@jamest484]

Love this channel! Do some burgers on that pellet grill por favor.

[@stevenbryant8445]

Great looking short ribs there buster! Fantastic cook!

[@BabyBackManiac]

Great video... by you and the eat more vegans guy! Thanks for telling me about it. Come see me. We'll go check them out!

[@cookingwithjustangel6464]

Mouth watering! Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@samshawn4887]

Greg, please do this on your big LSG offset. TKS

[@RichsRantMMAofficialchannel]

That’s why they call them “short” looks great btw!

[@Herman_vi]

I haven't tried overnight cooks yet, but I might have to give it a shot one of these days. Making great BBQ AND getting a good night's rest... that's the dream. I don't have a pellet grill, but I can probably make it work on the kamado or the smokey mountain.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Oh, for sure! Thanks for watching, Herman!

[@JoshandBabe]

Very cool way to cook them. Looked great!! 🎉

[@JoeVolcano42]

Have you tried cooking dino ribs this way? looks similar. Great cook!

[@garyjennings9458]

Beautiful cook Greg. My favorite thing to eat 😛Thanks for presenting this technique my friend!

[@markwindholz816]

I achieve the same results on my PittBoss Titan pellet grill. I cook mine like brisket. At 225° straight thru the cook. 10 to 12 hours. When the fat starts rendering, I wrap in butcher paper with beef tallow. Then rest them in 150° warmer for 6 hours. And they are off the charts delicious. Your beef ribs looked dam good. 👍👍👍

[@strengthcoachlondon]

As contrary as it sounds, the smoke ring isn't dependant on how much smoke there is. As long as you have CO2 and Nitric oxide gasses present in the cook chamber, you'll get a ring, as they bind with the myoglobin in the meat, fixing the colour before it turns brown at about 160f.

[@absoz]

I’ve been following Al for a few years now and just about to share this with him (if he hasn’t seen it already). Top bloke

[@Mickcotton]

Absolutely Amazing ❤. Happy Birthday 🎊 Beef Ribs ✅✅👍

[@leedoss6905]

I got a dino rib from Black's in Lockhart Texas and it was as tough as a boot. I couldn't eat the thing and should have complained.

[@troybowen3024]

Wow Them Ribs Is Juicer Than Juicy Juice

[@1984BBQ]

Those looked absolutely delicious

[@mikemarshall2747]

Was that a blend of wood chips and pellets? Good video

[@robertjason6885]

Creekstone is available locally here in the Nashville area. I like the 3 bone plate rib a bit better.. but both are great.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I like how those ribs turned out. They sure look great. Cheers, Greg! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

[@jeepnicc]

Those looked amazing Greg! You've got me jonesin' for a new smoker. If you could have only one, which one would it be?

[@BallisticBBQ]

If the choice was just one smoker, I'd go with the LSG offset cabinet. I like the small footprint for a cooker that can do 9 briskets. But, I can't think of a better built pellet grill! Cheers!

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup greg, great bark on them, beautiful🥲 awesome 👍, hard to find around RI, and when do expensive, brother has a friend said can get a full rack, good price, i hope lol. 4th july long away tho. Miss days when bought a half side of beef for $600😂🤣, great job bro, enjoy the birthday bash! tyvm tc

[@marksironi3324]

There are two different cuts of short ribs. The 4 bone ribs are shorter, the 3 bone ribs are longer. Those are much harder to get, here in New England the only place I've found that sells them is Restaurant Depot, and they don't get many. Just 2-3 Cryo packs each day.

[@robertjason6885]

Crediting others is a fine thing. Nice cook! Congrats!!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yes! Thank you!

[@shawnmitcham9824]

You can put a soup can and a rock on any other smoke and presto, damper. Do it to my Yoder sometimes depending on what I’m doing.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Smart man! Cheers, Shawn

[@BlackJesus8463]

Nice!

[@Daniel-zl9im]

I love the bark you achieved. Was the flavor too smoky?

[@bobbicatton]

Glorious! Mouth watering deliciousness👍🤤

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you, Bobbi! Cheers!

[@kdranchaz3240]

Fantastic cook Greg! Love to see another go round on your stick burner. Try Porter Road for prime 3 bone Dino ribs. They’re great and they’re huge!

[@BallisticBBQ]

I love Porter Road! In 2017, my wife and I hung out for a good part of the day with one of the owners. Great bunch of guys!

[@kdranchaz3240]

They’re quality people who provide equally quality meat. They’re my go to for ribs, steaks, tri tip, pork chops, bacon and sausage. They have it all!

[@spacepathfinder1]

Try broillking pellet smoker

[@joshuav.d.3777]

That pellet cooker is spendy but impressive! Nice!

[@Chefsantatravels]

You just made my mind up like to sell my Green Mountain Davy Crockett smoker they look amazing I literally could taste them through the screen

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for checking it out, Chef! Cheers!

[@adhcms]

What type of pellets did you use? And did you mix any wood chips in with them?

[@BallisticBBQ]

Hickory pellets and no chips on this cook. Simply because I didn't have enough.

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

Personally I'd rather have short ribs than brisket,Great Cook .

[@BallisticBBQ]

You n me both Michael! I love beef ribs, short ribs or back. Cheers!

[@healer81]

How does it compare to a traeger?

[@MrBartender49]

Great video! couldn't you make a chimney damper out of tin foil!

[@joeburns1571]

I saw the same video. It's cool he doesn't claim some secret spice or recipe. Are you still using the wood chips in this pellet smoker? Great turnout even if you got shorted on the short ribs

[@BallisticBBQ]

I do still use wood chips, but on this cook I only had hickory pellets. Main reason is I didn't have any chips!

[@MrDanbecker]

🙂👍🥂

[@brifo5779]

I do the same 🤤🤤🤤 but now, in cause of you, I go to sleep 😴 💤 a lot hungry, dear Greg 😉🍻🤭🤭🤭

[@BallisticBBQ]

Appreciate your checking out the video!

[@rhec_junior_9122]

good lord hit those door hinges with some oil please. lmao

[@mikebarfield1660]

Lol..that is what you got out of the video? You should be watching HGTV home repair shows..

[@ecarlson4987]

Those were 3 rib dino bones at the bbq. It is not short ribs

[@BallisticBBQ]

Brain fart at my end...

[@robertjason6885]

They are shorter because they are short ribs… not plate ribs.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks, Robert... Yeah, kinda' embarrassed that I didn't see that. The site didn't have any type of choice, just short ribs.

[@robertjason6885]

@@BallisticBBQNo worries. You present yourself honestly, and did a fine gig with those ribs. Sometimes… more like OFTEN the 3 bone plate ribs are hard to source. I’d speak with Jeremy Yoder (Mad Scientist BBQ) as he plays with them a lot.

[@bigbird7133]

You need to cut the fat off the top of the ribs
