All right! You talked me into this. i am going to make beef ribs tomorrow as well. My intentions are: prepare and rub the ribs tonight and put them on tomorrow. My plan is cook uncovered for 2 hours and covered for two hours and then their down. I have cooked them in the past and 5 hours and 6 hours is much to long. When I foil them, I am going to do the same thing as I did recently with pork ribs: lay down brown sugar, cover it with honey, and place flip the meat so the bone side is up and meat side is down.
We can compare results later.
