Notes
The ribs should be cooked for at least 8 hours, but can be cooked overnight for even more flavor.
If you don’t have a Crockpot, you can also cook the ribs in the oven at 325°F for about 2 hours.

I liked the flavor of these ribs. However, as in all Crockpot BBQ recipes that I have tried, I’ve never been able to get the ribs to have a thick glaze and even those charred bits as the photo shows.
I am skeptical that preparing this recipe could yield the ribs in the photo. Once the ribs were fall off the bone tender, I removed the ribs from the crockpot, to a foil lined pan, brushed a bottled BBQ sauce on top and then put them under the broiler for about 10 minutes.
IMO, the instructions should be modified to include directions on how to create the ribs that are shown on the photo.
