I'll be smoking some short ribs today, hoping for some ideas on method of preparation. Tried them one time on the smoker and finished in a q type sauce in oven. didn't turn out so good. Thanks
 
Since I prefer short ribs braised, with a sauce made from the braising liquid, I do them like that if I am smoking them, as well. I am fond of a rub of quatre-èpices, with a wine-vin reduction, plenty of sliced onion, some garlic, diced tomato perhaps. (Details here.)

I usually rub, smoke a couple hours, then either place in a pot with the above flavoring, cover, and cook till very tender, or do the same using HD foil. When tender, the ribs rest in some of the liquid for a few minutes while I partially de-fat the remaining liquid and purée it with the solids. Adjust seasoning; done.
