Got some short ribs on the go today 

I did a successful Delmonico , like a quick brisket , had it with mash and tender stem. Was good no pics lol, used foil after two hours to speed it up , rested for 40 mins.

Yep just a lump of chuck , I had visitors for lunch so lit it at 8am hoped to get oxtail failing that short ribs and try and do it in 5 hrs , anyway Delmonico was all that was available , I ran it about 275 so tad hotter .

Not heard of feather blade is that off the ribeye? I'll be searching oxtail next smoke and then do a stew burnt end type thing maybe....

I haven’t had that in years I bet it was melt in the mouth and the marrow in the bone will add to the gravy god it looks good.

I use wood wool , they have wax in them . Can get them cheap in bulk online. I light them with a map gas torch. Just poke four or five in to the top of charcoal let it catch with vents open lid open and no grill then once going place in grill ,heat deflector and shut the lid. I normally let it come up to 200f and then close the vents down I like to put low and slow meats on at about 250, if I'm doing wings or thighs/steaks I'll probably let it come up to 300f
