I am totally going to make this although I might tweak the ingredients a little. I may change out the sauces with what I have on hand and am going to use regular paprika and I think that will be ok. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for posting!
Am I correct in assuming that any ribs cooked in a crock pot will not have that bark/crust that cooking over open fire makes?
Never mind. I just saw the part of the recipe that required broiling.
