If you don't have a smoker, you can still enjoy smoky finger licking good ribs. While not having a smoker can be quite the dilemma, it's not the end of the world if you love barbecue. I didn't have a smoker for years and that's precisely how i developed other techniques that could deliver the barbecue flavor that we so enjoy. For these saucy baby back ribs, i generously rub the ribs with a smoky dry rub, then cook them low and slow in my oven. They're then cooled completely and chilled until coating with barbecue sauce and finishing on the grill.
