I'm guessing you don't have access to an outdoor spot to actually smoke the meat?
Liquid smoke is pretty much just what it says on the bottle. Boiling the ribs in liquid rather than smoking them over wood will give them a different texture but it won't take as long. It seems to me that a whole bottle of liquid smoke is going overboard, though. That stuff is pretty strong.

This is close to the method I use for smoked meats.
