Knife
Slab of ribs
4 tsp. liquid smoke
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Paper towels
Large plate or platter
Plastic wrap

You can choose to forgo the liquid smoke and only use dry ingredients to season the ribs. If you find it difficult to get the seasoning to stick to the ribs, try brushing the meat first with a small amount of olive oil or mustard before adding the seasonings.
