Directions:
Mix together brown sugar, chili powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl until combined. Add rib tips and mix until ribs are thoroughly coated. Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Place coated ribs in a slow cooker. Stir together ⅔ of the BBQ sauce with liquid smoke in a medium bowl until well combined. Pour evenly over ribs.

Cook on low heat until ribs are tender, about 4 to 6 hours.

Line a baking tray or oven pan with aluminum foil.

Remove ribs, place on the tray, and baste with remaining BBQ sauce.

Finish the ribs an oven rack about 6 inches under a hot broiler, until sauce is hot and sticky, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
