Grilled Slow Cooker Ribs

Ok, this is for you meat eaters, or rather for your husbands. I have never really been a fan of eating tons of red meat, but these are soooo tender , flavorful, and delicious (and take very little preparation time). Even if you've never loved ribs before, I encourage ya'll to try this. It is delightful!!!
