The experts at Black’s BBQ share exactly how to prep and cook the best ribs possible. “Wondering how to cook beef ribs? You don’t need a custom brick smoker to get great results at home. While the pit at Black’s stays around 275°F, Barrett [Black] encourages home cooks to start around 225°F if they’re still learning fire management. The goal is a consistent, even temperature.”
