Pork or beef?
For pork, my wife will pre-bake them at a low temp, soething like 200 for a couple of hours to burn off excess fat, then onto the grill with a favorite barbeque sauce. Baking the fat off keeps the flair ups down and keeps them from burning. Pete

For pork and beef. Some cooking them in water first?

To get ribs right you only need a few things:

For God's sake, don't boil them. That is the worst sin in cooking. Cook them indirect, depending on how many burners you have, e.g., if you have 3,
shut off the middle one and maintain your temperature with the outside ones. That will eliminate flair-ups and allow you to cook at a nice low temp. Get a
disposable aluminum pan and fill it half full of water. If it will fit under your grate put it there, if not put it on top and put another grate on top of
that. It will act as a heat sink. Cook them low and slow about 275 grate temp, even with a gasser you can do that. Soak some wood chips for about an hour
then put them in a pouch made from aluminum foil and poke some holes in it and put it on a live burner when heating up your grill to add smoke flavor. The
time will depend on what type of ribs you are using. For baby backs, count on about 5 hours. Resist the temptation to keep peeking at them. If you're
looking, you're not cooking. At the end of your cook, remove the water pan, turn up your grill and add your sauce if you are using any. Only add the
sauce at the end, otherwise it will burn.
There can be, and is, more to it than that, but that will get you started, IMHO. |

I have gone to the thrice cooked method....with amazing results -- boil them first, then grill them and then put your sauce or rub on them and finish them off
in the oven 350 degrees -- for about half hour or so. But I like the idea Pete's wife uses -- baking them first -- I will have to try that. Clark Salmo
may well be right about boiling and sin but I was raised on pasta and boiled potatoes

Baking first at a low temperature is a good way to do it. You can put the dry rub on, if you're using it, put the ribs on a large baking sheet, cover
tightly with aluminum foil, and bake for 2-2 1/2 hours at 275 degrees. I'm sure the indirect grilling method works great too.
