A good chili seasoning mix is mixed with a little vinegar and oil to make a paste that covers the ribs during the cooking process. Smells wonderful while cooking. The cooking of ribs need not be confined to the grill or smoker. They can be prepared in the kitchen with finger licking results. In my family, fried spare ribs were a favorite.
