Cut apart the short ribs into indvidual ribs. If there is a membrane on the backside of the ribs, remove it as well. Coat the short ribs in the BBQ seasoning.
If you using a Big Green Egg to smoke, place the diffusing plate on the grill. Place a drip pan with water in it on the diffuser, then cover with the grate.

When the short ribs get to 165°, place the short ribs in a pan. Then combine the basting juice with the melted butter and pour over the short ribs.
Cover with aluminum. Then continue to smoke until the short ribs reach 203-205°.
