Don't mean to sound ignorant about this, but .... it solely depends on your standards. I'm a BBQ nut, and my ribs are rubbed, smoked, basted, and finished on a grill. I'd no more use a slow cooker than a pressure cooker, or 'boil' them first. However, that's just me, and I don't know what YOU like. I've had ribs in a slow cooker before, and they tasted like ...... BBQ sauce. No flavor. If you want 'average' ribs, and cook them as you drive, your plan will certainly work. You can literally 'cook them off the bone', but I wouldn't cook them that far..
BTW, Sweet Baby Rays for 'store bought' sauce on ribs works great!
This is a me too moment but not a fan of Sweet Baby Ray's; too sweet.
