Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds Beef chuck short ribs
  • 2 tablespoons Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon Ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Smoker
    Set your smoker to 225°F, using a flavorful wood chip blend such as oak, maple, and hickory.
  • Prepare the Rub
    In a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients and mix well.
  • Prepare the Ribs
    Remove the short ribs from their packaging and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Apply the Rub
    Sprinkle the rub evenly over the ribs and rub it in well on all sides.
  • Start Smoking
    Place the seasoned ribs in the smoker and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F, approximately 7 hours.
  • Increase Cooking Temperature
    Raise the smoker temperature to 275°F and continue cooking for an additional 2 hours.
  • Check the Final Temperature
    Remove the ribs when they reach an internal temperature of 200°F.
  • Let Them Rest
    Wrap the ribs in foil and let them rest for 45–60 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Keep the smoker at a low temperature, use quality wood chips for flavor, avoid opening the smoker too often, and let the ribs rest before cutting.
  • Experiment with various marinades for flavor variations.
