Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 275°F with rack in middle position.

Stir together salt, brown sugar, smoked paprika, pepper, garlic powder, and dry mustard in a bowl.
Step 3
Remove thin outer membrane on back of ribs by loosening with a butter knife and pulling it off; discard.

Brush slabs evenly with oil; sprinkle with spice mixture, gently patting to adhere.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; set a wire rack inside sheet.

Bake in preheated oven until tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Step 8
Remove from oven, and unwrap ribs; discard foil and drippings.
Step 9
Place ribs directly on wire rack; brush 1/2 cup barbecue sauce on top of each slab.
Step 10
Return to oven; bake at 275°F until ribs are tender and meat is pulling away from bones, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 11
Remove from oven; brush slabs evenly with remaining barbecue sauce.

Increase oven temperature to broil, and return ribs to middle rack.
