I don't use rubs because I make my own BBQ sauce.
But the charring might have just been the length on the grill.
Do you use charcoal or gas? Are you smoking them or just cooking them?
I put salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder on my ribs, then wrap them tight in heavy duty aluminum foil and put them in the oven at 350 for around 2 hours, depending on how big.
Then put them on the grill. The oven time makes them super tender, then you can just grill for however long you want, add sauce, etc.
If you are smoking them, this step wouldn't really be necessary.
