British BBQ Society Forums

Hi Everyone

I'm looking to cook some buffalo shorties for my Birthday in September, I have done the usual search of the internet for advice but with out much success, I have found various forum discussions but none in great detail. Was wondering If anyone out there has cooked them before and if you might have any advice e.g. internal temps to aim for, when and if to foil them etc.

I will be cooking them at 225f and will not have any time constraints so will be having a nice lazy no pressure cook for a change.

Look forward to any feedback.

Hi there was supposed to update this post with how I got on but only just realised I never did. Was a bit long ago to remember the details of the cook but ended up treating them the same as beef ribs. Cooked them at 225f but can't remember the exact time frame, ended up getting quite drunk as it was my birthday. Do recall they took a lot longer than anticipated as it was dark and cold by the time they were completed.

However the end results were awesome had ten ribs so decided to use 3 different flavours. 1st where just done in Dalmatian rub and then served with a my standard bbq sauce, 2nd I added some major heat with the use of various chili powders and other spices and again served these with my standard bbq sauce. However the 3rd flavour went off on a major tangent and decided to take some Asian inspiration as this is my favourite food to cook at home, covered them with an Asian inspired rub and served with a black bean sauce I made, these where hands downs the best flavour.

Did not use any crutch so left them in the smoker using the water pan and mopped occasionally with beer cos I forgot to make up a mop sauce in all the chaos leading up to the cook. Smoked them in mesquite and served them with the bean recipie I've posted in a previous post. They were fantastic not a great deal of difference in the basic flavour of beef ribs but where a bit bigger, highly recommend doing some if you can get your mits on them.

They went down a storm with the crowed and I thoroughly enjoyed them so can't of been bad, sorry its a bit lacking in details, maybe next time.
