What happened to me was by chance.
I have thawed a marvelous piece of Prime 4 plate beef ribs by Creekstone Farm.
And I wanted to compare 3 meat rubs I recently received by US mail:
1) Black Gold by Texas Oil Dust
2) Ted & Barney's Meat Seasoning
3) Beef Rub by Moe Cason

So I did the unimaginable: I cut each single bone alone and seasond with different rub (Moe Cason's beef rub got 2 bones due the eccessive fat).
I smoked at 275F with water in the drip pan. White Oak for smoke.

As I supposed, cooking time was shorter, and the meat was a little overdone. Next time I should check at the 04:30 mark time.

What I achieve was 4 FULL BARKED short plated beef ribs !!!

Each bone was super delicious and I finally discover the perfect beef rib meat / bark ratio.

I try to explain my thought. I love beef ribs. Really. Even though I feel their meat really (too) reach of flavour.
My Sweet Wife can't eat any because the taste is too "heavy".

in this cook, the single bone had 3 sides full of bark and, as told, the meat/bark ratio was PERFECT (IMO).

Fantastic cruncy bark outside, juicy and flavourful meat inside.
Each bite was like a meat candy.
I've read of increasing bark by cutting big chunks of meat in multiple pieces, but only for pork.
Now I've discovered a new world.
Probably I'll never look back at the single "hunk" of 4 bones.

I'm cooking 4 slabs of short ribs, and 3 slabs of back ribs right now. I plan to post some pron afterwards. I hope my turn out half as good as yours look!
 
Great looking sticks! Like others, I'm wondering which rub was your favorite, but you're probably sleeping in after that meal!
