This weekend, I had a rack of baby backs that I thawed out and planned to put on my smoker but alas, with everything else going on, I just didn’t have time to deal with it. So, I did nothing more than remove the membrane, cut into 2 rib pieces, sprinkle on some basic rub that I had in the spice cabinet, cover in foil tightly, then bake for about 4 hours on 230 degrees. I then took the foil off, slopped on some crappy bottled sauce I had in the fridge, turned up the over to 400 for about 20 minutes to brown them a little bit and thicken the sauce. They were downright some of the best ribs I’ve had. Super tender and moist and I spent a total of 20 actual minutes of my time dealijg with them.

Any other small tips that would make them a little better but continue to minimize my time commitment?

I’m with you on this technique to an extent.

I like to cure them overnight in a 50/50 blend of sugar and salt. Then wrap in foil and cook in a hot oven covered in foil for a 3 hours or so. Remove and finish over an open fire while basting with a sauce. Keep whole though.

I like to grill my ribs over indirect heat. I soak wood chips while the coals light and make a foil pouch to place on the coals directly.

I season my ribs and place them on the cool side of the grill. Let them go for about an hour and 10 minutes. Then I slather on the sauce and let go for a final 10 minutes.

The results are delicious and tender every single time. My total time spent is about 10 minutes combined.

The last couple of racks I did this way, finished on the grill. People thought they were some of the best ribs they have had. Might not deal with the smoker for ribs anymore

Get an Orion Cooker, easiest, fastest way to cook ribs. Set it and forgot it, hour to an hour and a half and they're done.
Really good for turkey and chicken too.

I cut the bottom out of a keg and basically made the same thing. Built a stand that would hold a turkey. Placed keg on top lit charcoal ring and it cooked really well.

I’m going to get some down votes for this, but I boil my ribs. We wait until they are on sale (like last weekend), buy several racks and boil them for 1.5-2 hours. I throw everything in the pot except the kitchen sink. Take them out and let cool. Then I rub them with a little oil and a rub. Vacuum seal and freeze. Boil them in the bag, add sauce and put in oven for 20 mins.
I’ve had people tell me those are some of the best ribs they’ve ever had.

I season overnight then throw them on the smoker at º225 and forget about them for 5 hours then apply a thin sauce and pull after one hour, I often skip the sauce and go dry though.

Not sure how to make it much easier as my involvement is less than 10 min.

Season overnight.
Crockpot on Low for 8-10 hours.
Sauce and broil in oven for 5-10 mins.

30 min in a pressure cooker. Comes out better that doing it in the oven.

Do you add any liquid to the pressure cooker? Do you use an electric pressure cooker?

Cut membrane, season with salt and pepper and good amount of smoked paprika, pack on brown sugar. Wrap 3-4 times tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil. Put meat side down on baking sheet then in 275 degree for 2.5 hours, remove and let sit 1 hour still wrapped up. Open pouch, baste with juices, broil for 5 mins. Easy peezy, pretty good for oven ribs, don’t need to add sauce either (unless you want to of course)
