you want ribs?!?! here's my homegrown method for making the 
best eating there is ( well, of, maybe the 2nd best )...
get some ribs, preferably country style ' cause they have
more meat.
get some sauce. i usually buy a bottle of everything being offered
get some fresh onions bermuda preferred. get some fresh garlic.
go home.
mix all the sauces together. slice the onion into rings.
get a big cake pan, rectangular, or any deep sided oven proof
container. at this point, you can, if you want, par-boil the
ribs to remove fat. i just trim mine down with a sharp knife.
in the pan or whatever, put in a layer of sauce about 1/4
inch deep. then a layer of ribs, then a layer of onions.
oops, forgot a step....when you mix sauces together, peel garlic,
squeeze juice into sauce, toss remainder of garlic pulp into sauce
and mix well. now, back to the layers...keep layering until you almost
fill pan.next to last layer must be onions. pour on sauce, until
whole thing is swimming in sauce. get some brown sugar and sprinkle
over top. how much? depends...enough to counteract overly
tart sauces, not so much as to make it on the sweet side...just
a nice balance. put in 350 degree oven. go watch ball game, mow
the yard, shovel snow, whatever...for about 2.5 hours...if top layer
has not cooked down and gotten thick and crusty, cook some more.
(personally, i dig the bottom layer of ribs out and put them
on top to get sauce baked right on just like top layer.
by now, the aroma will be driving you crazy, the neighbors
will be lined up with plates in hand and it's time to eat.
unless you want to share, lock the door and get something to
drink. if you want, get corn on cob and all thaty other
stuff, too. me, i just eat ribs, lots and lots of ribs.
this method is gauranteed to cook the meat off the bones
and will give you yet another reason to clean the oven.
btw, you can use pork chops instead of ribs. liquid smoke
or hickory flavoring can also be added. depends on your taste.
ENJOY!!!!!!!
