Everybody's idea of "tender" ribs is different but here is what I like to do. I like mine pretty tender. Once you've done a few you will get an idea of how you prefer them. If you don't have a rub in mind a nice all round rub is Jan's Rub, here's a link... http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showthread.php?p=718#post718
I usually cut each rack of back ribs in half and remove the membrane the night before. Next I give them a rub with olive oil, then hit them with the rub, wrap in plastic and store in the fridge till the next day. The next day I usually spray my racks with Pam and put the ribs on bone side down. I usually apply smoke for 3 hours at 220 degrees, then let them go 1 more hour without smoke at 220 degrees (total of 4 hours). Next I put the ribs in a tin foil roster pan with a shot of apple juice and cover with foil. I throw them back into the smoker at 220 degrees for 3 more hours (this part can be done in the oven as well). Next I take them out of the foil and fire them on the grill just long enough to sauce them. Next.... fill your face! :D
Like I said everybody's idea of tender is different. I think you just pick a starting point and get at it! ;)

Wouldn't add or change a thing to Mike's suggestion on smoking ribs. He's dead on as far as I'm concerned.

I'm partial to spareribs, and lately, I'm tending to do much the same as Mike. Except I don't sauce and instead of apple juice I might put something like worcestershire and soy sauce, or worcestershire and coffee, maybe beef broth, or more often I freeze the drippings from the last time I smoke and put them in the foil and don't forget the possiblilty of beer or other alcoholic consumable. Method and timing is the same, just play with the flavors. I usually stay simple though - I just like meat, salt, pepper, and smoke. That is the Quad that I like - simple, basic and made for one another. The heck with the Cajun Trinity, or the French mirepoix - I go with the Caney Quad.
