Boil, then foil!

In all seriousness, in my opinion, smoke them till they pass the bend test - this means they are done, and close to falling off the bone, but the meat still has a little give. There's nothing worse than ribs that are either underdone or overdone, and most here will agree that if the meat is literally falling off the bone, they are overdone.

That, plus steady smoker temps, a good dry rub that you like will go a long way to achieving your goal.

Boil them, slather with 1/2 inch of mustard, then grill for 40 minutes.

The Willkat speaks the truth. If only one tip would crown our ribs, we'd be frequenting woodworking or engine building forums for fun. :)
