I make my own sauce and rub, but when I was living in NC I bought a rub from the grocery store. I can't get the rub up here in MI, but I have duplicated it to my best ability.

I used to do that myself, I thought that in terms of tenderness and tastiness HOT, they were excellent.
The only thing you lose is the smoke ring, which I have found to be essential in being able to put your
ribs in the fridge for another day. Hell, you could probably leave em on the counter for a few days and
still hit em with that SMOKE. Oven cooked ribs get a rancid taste in the fat in almost no time.
Either that or it comes out of the bones. Anyone know the flavor I am talking about? Old pork syndrome.
But for eating hot and fresh, I actually prefer that oven cooked flavor. Smoke sometimes messes up me innards.
