Hi - I used to make killer BB Chinese-style ribs in my broiler, haven't made them in years though. Dunno if it would translate to smoking since I used more direct heat, plus I pre-cut them into individual ribs before cooking. (Did you mean smoked ribs? Or just ribs?)
Anywho, I'd rub them with a little EVO and lemon juice, and dust with Chinese 5-spice powder. Next I'd brown them up under the broiler on med (flipping once half-way through) until they got a little tender. I wanna say 30 minutes total?? Then I'd brush them with a mix of soy, stir-fry and hoisin sauces, and honey. Finally under low broiler for another 10 or 15 minutes, flipping once half-way through.
