Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Place the salt, garlic powder, pepper, and lime juice in a small bowl and stir together. Rub the mixture all over the ribs and place them on a sheet pan in an even layer. Pour 1 cup water around the ribs and cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake the ribs until the meat is very tender, about 2 hours. Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and unwrap them. Pour off the cooking liquid (save it for another use, such as cooking beans, or discard it) but leave the ribs on the sheet pan.
While the ribs are baking, place the ketchup, guava paste, orange juice, Worcestershire, chile powder, cumin, thyme, and allspice in a small saucepan set over high heat. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the guava paste and combine all the ingredients. Once it boils, turn off the heat and set the sauce aside.
Once the ribs are cooked and the sauce is done, either turn your broiler to high, preheat an outdoor grill to medium, or set a grill pan over medium heat. Grill or broil the ribs, basting with the guava barbecue sauce and turning them as they cook, until hot and glazed and charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer the racks to a cutting board and cut into individual ribs, then transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle with any remaining guava barbecue sauce and serve warm, with a large roll of paper towels handy.
