So I was able to get a hold of a rack of baby back ribs from the exchange here in Bahrain and have to cook them in an oven. I for definitely miss my kettle and feel wrong cooking these in an oven haha but it’s my only option. I’m planning on ribbing then with my usual rub but wanted some input on if I should wrap them at any point like the usual 2-2-1 or just let them ride at 250-275* I don’t think I’ve even made them in the oven
 
This is an old recipe from Alton Brown for doing babybacks in the oven.Had these decades ago and I remember them being more than acceptable for bbribs done in the oven.

I've used that recipe. It is good, but I use less liquid than it calls for now.
Pork in Bahrain? I'm betting you won't be sharing with the locals?
 
Nothing wrong with an oven cooked bb rib at all from my book, any kind of asian glaze would be magic to me and I like BBs around 194-196 as well.....
 
I did some on the spinner in a air fryer oven . Came out great . Like roast pork on a stick .

Maybe think about the sugar in your rub since you're using the oven . Maybe go light , and add it at the end ? roast them off with salt and pepper , then when done brush them with some warm sauce , or I like to cut singles and dip in the sauce .

I've seen the episode of Good eats . He does use a lot of liquid .

Same thoughts here! the sauce can be added over the last 30 mins or so ie once they hit 192 ish and if you use several small coats vs heavy it will build up and create a nice glaze...you can also bump the temp a bit to set the glaze but don't go above 275 as the sugars in the glaze can easily burn at the higher temps....
