Preheat your smoker to 275°F or set up your grill for indirect cooking.
Once the smoker is ready, add your preferred smoking wood for flavor.
Generously sprinkle soul food seasoning over the oxtails, ensuring an even coating.
Place the seasoned oxtails on the smoker for 1 hour. Flip them and continue smoking for an additional hour or until the desired bark is achieved.
While the oxtails are smoking, bring the beef broth to a boil in a pot.
Once the broth is boiling, gently transfer the smoked oxtails into the pot. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the oxtails are tender enough to fall off the bone.
Plate the oxtails and, if desired, ladle some of the flavorful broth over them.
