Place sliced onion in a layer in the crockpot. Mix chipotle and barbecue sauce together.
Place rib sections on top of onions. Pour a little barbecue sauce mixture over each section as you place it in the crockpot. Pour the rest of the sauce over the top.
Cover and cook on low heat for about eight hours.
