Electric Smoker BBQ Rib Tips

These tender and juicy rib tips almost steal the show from the ribs themselves. They are that good. They are super tender and done in a fraction of the time it takes to smoke the ribs. I like to use a combination of hickory and apple chips but feel free to use your wood of choice.
