Bought 3 lbs of beautiful meaty marinated prime rib bones. Beef ribs are new for me. Any suggestions on how to best smoke them for Sunday dinner?

I have cooked beef long bones similar to spare ribs althought that might be "over cooked" for some. 4 hours of smoke at 210, FTC for 1 hour, used the apple juice spray half way through, and sprayed them down (with a little added Jack Daniels) before the FTC. For variation, I have also finished them with Iceman's Sop'n Sauce and a flash charcoal grilling.
Smoked them for 3 hours at 210-225 with hickory. I took them out at the 3 hour mark when I checked them as they looked more than done. I might go with only 2 hours smoke next time. They were good but maybe overdone a little.

What was the final internal temp before pulling?
Were the ribs singles or a rack?
On occasion I find racks of beef ribs that the local butcher cuts from the prime rib to sell bonless primes or rib steaks. These are more meaty than the prepackaged ribs that store sells.
One recipe I use calls for the ribs to be brushed with cheap yellow mustard then covered with a beef friendly rub. I usually smoke with hickory for 4 to 5 hours at 225. I have also used Iceman's oinker rub with good reviews for both.
Mine were a full rack of ribs in a cryovac. Vons had them on sale for $0.99 a pound. Maybe 8 to 12 ribs.
Sorry for the delay, I've been out of town for over a week. My ribs were singles. i didn't use a thermometer, just eyeballed them.(Don't know why not, feeling lazy?) The meat was pulled away from the bone, they just had that done look.
