Step 1
Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs, I do this by lifting an edge of the middle of the ribs and tearing off in one piece.
Step 2
Cut the ribs into 4 sections.
Step 3
In a small bowl prepare the rub; combine the brown sugar, onion powder, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Put the rub onto ribs with hands.
Step 4
Place the ribs in the slow cooker. Pour the water and liquid smoke in around the ribs. (note- you can add the liquid smoke into the rub instead of adding it in the water if desired). Pour over the barbecue sauce on top of the ribs.
Step 5
Cook on low for 8 or high for 4 hours.
Step 6
Brush with more warmed barbecue sauce if desired and serve.
