You can add sauce at any point during the smoking, but I suggest you wait until the last hour. This will give you time to apply several thin coats of barbecue sauce. This way you get a nice, sticky layer of sauce that will make your beef ribs great. If you want to add some real smoke flavor to the sauce throw a few extra chunks of wood on the fire to build up the smoke.
BBQ Beef Ribs - Preparing the Smoker
By Derrick Riches, About.com Guide
I strongly recommend that you put a barbecue sauce on your beef ribs. While pork ribs are great with or without sauce, beef ribs benefit greatly from a good barbecue sauce. Again it would be a good idea to avoid a sauce with too much sugar, this is why I avoid barbecue sauces from the grocery store.
