Easy Barbecued Ribs

I blogged this recipe a while ago, and think it's time to make them again. Here are my tasting notes: My son said these were the best ribs ever! My husband was slower to respond. Undoubtedly, he was comparing them to the ribs he's learned to grill well. I do agree that the ribs were very tender. His verdict is that they are very tender, and almost smoky. I liked that there was a slight stickiness to the outside of the ribs, and a slightly charred taste from the broiler. There is nothing like slow-cooked ribs, over wood chips and a Weber grill. However, I will say that after a rough day at work today-- I'm beginning to see how slow cookers can be my new best kitchen helper. I give America's Test Kitchen kudos, for this recipe. Broiling the ribs is key. Otherwise, these would just be braised meat, and not barbecue.
