The key to perfect smoked beef ribs lies in patience and temperature control. These massive ribs require a long, slow cook to break down the tough connective tissue while building a beautiful bark.

Remember, barbecue is done when it's done, not when the timer goes off. Use temperature and feel as your primary indicators of doneness.
