Did a large cook on Big Joe this weekend, have been buying too much meat when good deals come up, needed freezer space to buy more meat!
2 Ebony Angus short ribs, 2 Vintage Galician short ribs, and a Thai hybrid wagyu brisket
Seasoned each one a bit differently. Brisket was salt/pepper topped with more pepper (Little Miss Dalmation mix, with more Rudy's pepper - I find Dalmation too salty alone). Galician ribs were Spanish coarse sea salt only, keeping it pure to the breed and to the country. One Angus rib was Montreal steak seasoning, the other was Cajun Two Step topped by more Rudy's pepper.

Brisket
Everything was slightly overdone, I think more from the rest than from the cook. I should have let them sit out to cool a bit before putting them in to rest; I went straight in, and especially going straight from a hot and fast cook, surface temp was still 300 and I could hear meat sizzling in the rest for a solid 5min after I put it in to rest.
The Galician ribs are just not as marbled and should have been pulled off sooner and maybe sliced. It just cooks more like a back rib than a brisket-type connective tissue. They wound up way overdone, dry, stringy. For similar price I'll be sticking to the Angus going forward, also get much more meat on them for the same bone weight.
More details in spoiler to avoid longcat:
This was the first hot and fast I'd done on beef, and it's definitely less forgiving, edges and corners got dried out. But, meat was on at 10am and done at 4pm, hard to beat that. Rested and ate a rib at 6, sliced the brisket about 9pm.
