4 drops liquid smoke

1 tablespoon soya sauce or Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
- Remove silverskin from back side of ribs.
- Liberally use dry rub all over both sides of the ribs using your hands to rub the spice into the meat.
- Wrap the rib rack in foil and place on a baking sheet.
- Cook on 275 for two hours. Remove from oven and drain any grease.
- Add more rub to front and back of ribs and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
- Set oven to broil and broil ribs on both sides for 2-3 minutes each.
