Remove the beef ribs from the vacuum packaging and discard it in the trash. Pat dry the meat with paper towels.
2, 1/2 half racks Beef back ribs
Remove or score the membrane with a knife.
Combine the rub in the specified quantities and apply to both sides of the meat. If you didn't opt to remove the membrane, I wouldn't bother seasoning the membrane-side.
1/2 tbsp Diamond crystal kosher salt, 1/2 tbsp 16 mesh black pepper, 1/2 tsp Celery salt
Allow the marinade to dry brine over night in the refrigerator or for at least 2 hours.
Smoking the Beef Ribs
Set your pellet grill to 225 F. My pellet grill has a "swing" mode that allows for more smoke so I used that (called "non-pid")
Place the meat in the center of the grates and allow to smoke for 2-3 hours or until the bark is set and the meat is a dark mahagony color.
Then wrap in foil or butcher paper and return to the smoker for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, check the meat for tenderness.Use a probe thermometer or a toothpick to probe the meat between the bones. The probe should go in and out of the meat with no resistance. Typically at 195-205F internal the meat should be tender. For me this was 202F.
Once tender, rest the meat while wrapped for 15-30 minutes.
