    I tried these a while ago, and they turned out great! They just don’t produce a lot of edible meat considering how much space they take up on the smoker. Just keep that in mind if you’re cooking for a group

    Hey the mill scale is back

    I been out of the loop lately. I see he’s using it in a few videos. I’ve only learned on an offset. Even though I’m only 28. I think the pellet smokers are magic machines.

    I picked some of these up today for the first time to see what I could do with them. Of course I’ve gotta check out meat church for the tea and turns out this was posted 3 days ago. Go figure lol

    The prices did go up. We cook the Costco beef back ribs with Traeger Prime Rib Rub, 225F no-wrap. Since they are off the rib roast it was only logical to try them with Prime Rib Rub. Since we don't wrap, the membrane is crispy and tasty.

    Sweet Jesus Matt! I just finished eating these using post oak as well. OMG! They were awesome. My pack from HEB had two slabs in it and I figure it cost about $4/serving for everyone after sending some down the street to relatives who have no idea what's in store for them. The family went crazy for them too. Easy cook even for an offset noob like me to do. Thanks for the push to try these.

    I'm pretty sure I've spent more at HEB in the last two months than I have at Home Depot. LOL!!!

    Not true on that price anymore after watching this video I immediately went to Costco
    They call them beef back ribs and they are selling for $20 a slab (4.29 lb) not worth the money versus the amount of meat now that it's $20 a slab vs. $7 in your video

    Yep! Love these things….Sadly, they're a little difficult to find here in the UK.

    I do enjoy removing the meat from the bones and membrane and making "Rib Fingers"; Quickly cooked they're brilliant.

    The Bones and Membrane….Make the BEST Demi Glace.

    Awesome video as always Matt! I just did 3 racks of the exact same beef back ribs from Costco last Sunday. They turned put pretty dang good for my first time smoking them, but I really wish I had seen your video first – then I really would have been even less mad at them lol 😂 For anyone who is still doubting how delicious beef back ribs can be, you have to try them out!

    I cook these all the time. One of my favorite ways is when I get to the wrap stage, I will braise them in beef broth, red wine, and butter. Give it a go! 😎✌🏼💪🏼

    I made these tonight and all I can say is that they were unbelievably good and so so so easy. Would have never thought to buy these. I will say that they were not that cheap for me. Similar sized racks for me were $20 a piece. My Costco did not have them out for sale whole so I think I got charged the cut price for a whole. Still I can’t stress how good these were. The membrane is the only downfall.

    Matt. I just want to thank you for your videos. I got me an electric smoker with wood chips last year. I was unsure how I would do with smoking meats. Now I’m addicted. I just upgraded to a pellet smoker. Excited to smoke some pork and brisket on it with holy cow and gospel rubs.

    Are you able to package your spices and rubs in small batches yourself or do you have a company package for you? Can you package at home in an NSF safe area without getting FDA approval?

    Use to buy mine off Amazon then realized buying from the church and having them sent to Hawaii wasn’t as expensive as most are(thanks Matt) but literally even coming to Oahu they are still so fresh and I even still get them within a couple days

    I love beef back ribs and I like to do them more sort of direct…they taste like steak and have a more firm texture. High above the coals and let the fat drip into the fire…so good
