These ribs are tender and the meat easily comes off the bone.

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees
2. Heavily season with your favorite rub
3. In a roasting pan, add about 1″ of water and liquid smoke
4. Put ribs on a rack in the roasting pan and cover/seal with aluminum foil (place ribs on edge with meat side facing each other)
5. Put pan in the oven and let cook for 8 hrs

Optional: When finished, put ribs in a preheated BBQ (375 degrees) and cook ribs 4 minutes per side (apply BBQ sauce on each flip if desired). Desired internal temp is 165 degrees.
