4 lbs pork ribs
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp hickory smoke salt
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp red pepper (optional)
2 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  Peel of tough membrane that covers bony side of the ribs.  Mix the sugar and spices together to make the rub.  Apply to all sides of the ribs.  Lay ribs on 2 layers of foil, shiny side out and meaty side down.  Lay 2 layers of foil on top of the ribs.  Roll and crimp edges tightly, edges facing up to seal.  Place on baking sheet and bake for 2 1/2 hours or until meat is starting to shrink away from the bone.  Remove from oven and heat broiler.  Cut ribs into serving sized portions.  Arrange on broiler pan, bony side up.  Brush on sauce.  Broil 1-2 minutes, turn ribs over, repeat.  You can also grill the ribs.
