Excellent, Member LACarlson

I made these on a Sunday for the first time. I didn't have the white pepper or the cayenne pepper; they turned out wonderful!! I will let the rub sit overnight on the ribs the next time. I also added a little water to the slow cooker. If you have a newer slow cooker it shouldn't take 8 hours. I put it on high for the first 2 hours and then 3 hours on low. Great new recipe to add to the family recipes; teenagers loved them and that's a bonus!
