Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients  

  • 4 bone-in short ribs
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise as a binder
  • 3 tbsp BBQ rub
  • 1 cup beef broth for spritzing

Instructions

  • Pat ribs dry and coat with mayonnaise. Season generously with rub.
  • Preheat smoker to 250F using pellet flavors like oak or pecan.
  • Place ribs on smoker bone-side down and cook for 5–6 hours.
  • Spritz with beef broth every 30–45 minutes after the first 2 hours.
  • Remove ribs when internal temp reaches 200°F–205°F.
  • Rest for 10 minutes and serve warm.

Notes

  • Mix up the seasoning. If you don't have Hardcore Carnivore Black, use some coarse black pepper, kosher salt, onion powder & garlic powder.
  • Give yourself time. These beef short ribs take quite a while on the smoker. Give yourself plenty of time. Feel free to bump the smoker temp up to 275F if you need to speed it up a little.
