I’ll die happy!
I was pretty busy this weekend but wanted some ribs. I just could spend half the day tending a wood smoker. So I smoke 2 racks for about 2 hours with oak and charcoal. Slightly higher heat, slightly more smoke than I would have normally for the first 2 hours. Then I took them off and put them in a big Slow Cooker and cooked them on low for another 6 hours. I put them in bone side down and put about 1/8 inch of apple juice in the bottom of the slow cooker. The meat was up, out of the liquid. It was just to keep a moist atmosphere.
Man. They came out good. All the smoke flavour, but completely tender and juicy with no sign of drying out. Half of them I didn’t even get around to putting sauce on. The ones I did I used a bottle of Honey BBQ I picked up the last time I was at Bufffalo Wild Wings. It was good on pork ribs. Sweet, with just a hint of heat.
Yum, yum, yum…..

If I don't want to spend the time I just go down the road about 10 minutes in any direction and get my choice of Dreamland, Jim n Nicks, Full Moon or a little further and get Big Bob Gibson's.
Your choice of sauce on or off.
Between $15 and $25 per slab depending on time of travel and just as good as anything I can do.
HOWEVER yours do sound awfully good. I just might have to try that this summer.

Secret: MUST be juicy--yet meat just barely falling off the bone.
Ya did good partner!

i've got a smoker too, what other kind of liquids can you put in the water pan for flavor?

I'm highly offended that you didn't share. Now I'm hungry for ribs...and all I have is hot pockets. :cry

It all depends on what you like, most fruit juices work good, or you can go with beer, wine, whiskey. Peach nectar in the pan, then slather on some Habanero based sauce and you've got a sweet, burning, dripping, lick the bone kinda sensation goin' on.

How do you think it would taste with a Crestor pill (cholestrol medicine) ground up in the sauce?
My wife would insist on it lol
man am I jealous

Liquid smoke (Mesquite) is a nice shortcut for those who do not have access to the real deal.
You get additional smoky flavor as well as a humidity agent to keep the meat nice & juicy.
