I've also done bone in beef rib once or twice in the smoker and it's been perfect. Now I don't do it so much as my heart doctor doesn't let me
It's not so much the tenderness because as you said, cooking anything long enough will get you there. It's the marbling. Tender _AND_ Juicy. It's also why I've started the beef tallow routine. It really does bump it up a notch, even with a Walmart brisket, which the one in the video above was purchased from.
